Safety and Maintenance

Data Security

Every time you update your computer’s data make

back-up copies on an external storage medium, i.e.

CDR disc. We cannot assume a liability for data loss

or associated subsequent damage.

Safety Instructions

Please read this chapter carefully and observe all listed notes.

This will ensure reliable operation and long life expectancy of

your product.

Keep these instructions with your product at all times. The

proper set up, use and care can help extend the life of your

product. In the event that you transfer ownership of this prod-

uct, please provide these instructions to the new owner.

Operational Safety

 Do not allow children to play unattended with electrical

equipment. Children are incapable of judging potential

risks properly.

 Drives are very susceptible to faults. Never drop the

drive or subject it to bumps or vibrations, because they

could result in damage to it. We do not accept any guar-

antee for damage of this type.

 Also follow the instructions for use of the PC or laptop to

which you connect the device.

 Do not insert any objects into the inside of the device

through the slits or openings and never open the casing.

This could lead to an electrical short circuit, an electric

shock or even cause a fire which could endanger your

health and damage your computer equipment.

REP. IRELAND HELPLINE 1-800-992508

 The voltages and interfaces used in the devices comply with

the low protective voltages in accordance with EN 60950.

Connections to other equipment must only be made with

equivalent interfaces with low protection voltages in accor-

dance with EN 60950.

Please contact our Service Center if you have technical

problems with the drive or:

 ... Your drive has come into contact with liquid.

 ... The drive is not functioning correctly.

 Please contact our authorised Service Partners exclusively in

the case of a necessary repair.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

 The Guidelines of electromagnetic compatibility (EMV)

must be observed when connecting the drive.

 Keep the device at least 1 metre (approximately three feet)

away from sources of high frequency and magnetic inter-

ference (mobile phones, televisions, infra-red devices, loud-

speakers etc.) in order to avoid malfunction and data loss.

Set-up Location

 This product is NOT designed for use in industrial environ-

ments.

 Operate the drive exclusively in a horizontal position.

 Delay operation after transport until the device has adjusted

to the ambient temperature. In situations of large tempera-

ture or humidity differences condensation may build up

moisture, which might cause an electrical short circuit.

 In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a

typical, unavoidable but completely harmless smell, which

will decline increasingly in the course of time. We recom-

mend that you ventilate the room regularly, in order to

counteract the formation of the smell. During the develop-

ment of this product, we have made sure that the applica-

ble limits are clearly decreased.

 Keep your product away from moisture, dust, heat and direct

sunlight. Failure to observe these instructions can lead to mal-

functions or damage to your equipment.

 To prevent damage to your device from a fall, place and

operate it on a stable, balanced and vibration-free surface.

Ambient Temperature

The optical drive can be operated at an ambient temperature of

between 5° C and 45° C (+41° and +113° F) and at a relative

humidity of between 8% and 80% (with no condensation).

When powered off, the product can be stored at temperatures

between -20° C and 55° C (–40° and +131° F) and at a relative

humidity of between 8% and 85% (with no condensation).

Disposal

Device

At the end of its life, the appliance must not be disposed of in

household rubbish. Enquire about the options for environmen-

tally-friendly disposal.

Packaging

To avoid damage during transport, the device is stored in pro-

tective packaging. The packaging is produced mostly from

materials which can be disposed of in an environmentally

friendly manner and therefore can be professionally recycled.

Cleaning

It is usually not necessary to clean the drive. Always detach all

connection cables before cleaning the drive.

 Caution! This appliance does not include any parts that

need servicing or cleaning.

 Do not use any solvents, corrosive or gaseous cleaning

products.

 If necessary, clean the surface of the drive with a damp

cloth.

 Do not use CD-ROM cleaning discs or similar products that

clean the lens of the laser to clean your CD- /DVD-drive.

Laser operation

Service Information for Experts

This Chapter is intended for technically qualified experts. Please

take the notes in the ‘Safety and Maintenance’ Chapter and the

following safety information into account:

LASER

In this product laser devices of Laser Class 1 to Laser

Class 3b may be used. Where the housing remains

closed, the device meets the requirements of Laser

class 1.

By opening up the housing you will gain access to

laser devices of up to Laser Class 3b.

When removing and/or opening up these laser de-

vices, the following must be observed:

 The drive contains no user-serviceable parts.

 Repairs to the drive must be performed only by

the manufacturer.

 Do not look into the laser beam, even with spe-

cialist optical instruments.

 Do not allow yourself to be exposed to the laser

beam.

 Avoid exposure of the eyes or skin to direct or

stray radiation.

ATTENTION

The drive has Laser Class I, provided that the device is op-

erated in an enclosed housing. Please leave maintenance

to an expert. Please do not remove the cover of the drive,

because invisible laser irradiation will be discharged if the

cover has been opened. Do not look at the beam, not

even with optical instruments.

Loading a Disc:

This optical drive uses a support to retain a disc.

Care must be taken that the disc is pressed precisely on the

support and engages there when inserting a disc.

Attention

Do not use scratched or dirty discs, discs with pieces

broken off or discs of poor quality. Do not stick protec-

tive foil or other stickers to the discs. Because of the

high speeds in the drive the discs might break and dam-

age your data as well as your drive.

Examine the discs before you insert them. If damage or

dirt is visible, you should not use them. Damage caused

by faulty media is excluded from warranty and repairs

costs will be charged.

1. Press the eject button on the front of the optical drive to

open the tray.

2. Place the disc into the drive with the

label (or side 1) upwards and press it

down carefully. The disc must engage

on the support audibly.

3. Press the eject button again to close the

tray.

Note

Many Discs start automatically when they are inserted.

This will depend on the operating system and relevant

settings.

Playing Back and Retrieving Data from Discs

Your optical drive is able to playback and to retrieve Audio CDs,

DVD Movies and Data discs.

After loading the disc your operating system will open a selec-

tion window with different options for playback.

If your operating system doesn’t open the selection window

you still have the possibility of access via the

Explorer or

Computer.

You will also need to open a program to play DVDs, if appro-

priate, acoording the DVD audio CD and the software installed.

How to remove a Disc:

1. Press the eject button at the front of the optical drive to

open the tray.

2. Remove the disc and store it in the disc cover in a safe

place.

Attention

Do not try to remove the CD from the drive while the

computer is accessing the disc. This could lead to

crashes.

Emergency Removal Of A Trapped Disc

opened manually. Re-start the computer, if the tray still does

not open, please proceed as follows:

1. Exit Windows

and switch the computer off.

2. Gently position a long pointed object (e.g. opened up

paperclip) into the emergency opening until you feel some

First Aid in the case of Malfunctions

Diagnosing the Cause

Sometimes malfunctions can have simple causes, but can also

be very complex and require extensive technical analysis. We

would like to provide a few guiding steps for you to solve any

problems.

Basic Information

 Regular execution of the Windows

programs “Defragmen-

tation” and “Scandisk” can remove sources of errors and

increase system performance.

Checking the connections and the cables

Visibly check all cables and connections. Should all lights be

off, check whether all equipment is supplied with power.

 Switch off the PC and check all cable connections. Check

the connections to peripherals. Do not exchange cables,

even though they may look similar. The polarity in those

cables may be different. When it is confirmed that the com-

puter has power and all connections are correct, turn the

computer on again.
