On handling diskettes
Do not open the shutter manually and touch the surface of the diskette.
Keep diskettes away from magnets.
Keep diskettes away from direct sunlight and other heat sources.
On handling CD/DVD-ROM discs
Do not touch the surface of the disc.
Do not drop or bend the disc.
Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause read errors. Proper care of the disc is essential
to maintain its reliability. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners
or anti-static spray, as they may cause damage to the disc.
For normal cleaning, hold the disc by its edge and use a soft cloth to wipe the surface from the center
out.
If the disc is badly soiled, moisten a soft cloth with water, wring it out well, and use it to wipe the surface
of the disc from the center out. Wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry soft cloth.
On using the battery pack
Never leave the battery pack in temperatures above 60
°
C, such as in a car parked in the sun or under
direct sunlight.
Battery life is shorter in a cold environment. This is due to decreased battery efficiency at low
temperatures.
Charge the batteries at temperatures between 10
°
C to 30
°
C. Lower temperatures require a longer
charging time.
While the battery is in use or being discharged, the battery pack heats up. This is normal and is not cause
for concern.
