On handling diskettes

Keep diskettes away from magnets.
❑
Keep diskettes away from direct sunlight and other heat sources.
On handling CDs
❑
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.
❑
Keep the battery pack away from all sources of heat.
❑
Keep the battery pack dry.
