PX-83CS/PX-85CS OPERATION MANUAL 7 ---- CHAPTER 4 ---- Precautions YOUR TASK: YOUR OBJECTIVE: YOUR METHOD: Read the list of precautions below. Review the list and use common sense. Your new CD-ROM drive is a precision electromechanical device. Like the rest of your computer system, it requires reasonable care in its installation and use. Please read this manual carefully and keep it handy for easy reference. See your dealer, or call Plextor's Technical Support Department, should your drive require repair or service. # Do not put your computer monitor (or any other device weighing more than 30 lbs. ) on top of the 8PleX external drive. # Do not place your drive in direct sunlight, on heating units, or near electrical appliances that draw large amounts of current, such as a high-powered audio amplifier, microwave oven, toaster, hair dryer, etc. Keep the area around your drive clean from dust, smoke, and other contaminants. Do not allow moisture or liquids such as water, cleaning fluids, or solvents to touch the drive. Thinner, benzene, or alcohol-based solvents can mar your drive's surface. To help ensure that your CD-ROM discs remain free of dirt or other contaminants, your drive requires a disc caddy. Removing the cover may expose you to harmful electrical voltages or the laser beam. For your safety, entrust service to Plextor-authorized service personnel only. 8 PX-83CS/PX-85CS OPERATION MANUAL ---- CHAPTER 5 ---- Drive Features YOUR TASK: YOUR OBJECTIVE: Get to know your drive.
