Handling data carriers
Handling
Observe the following guidelines when ha ndling data carriers:
• Avoid touching the surface of a data c arrier. Only han dle data carriers by th eir edges.
• Always store data carriers in their cases. This will protect the da ta carrier against
being covered in dust, scratched or damaged in any other way.
• Protect your data carriers against dust, mechanical vibrations and direct sunlight.
• Avoid storing a data carrier in areas subject to high temperatures or humidity.
You may use both 8-cm and 12-cm data carriers in the optical drive.
When using a data c arrier of lesser quality, vibrations and reading errors may occur.
CD/DVD indicator
CD/DVDindicator
The CD/DVD indicator
flashes when a data carrier is inserted. The indicator goes out when
the drive is ready for
reading. The indicator lights up when the drive is being accessed.
You may only remove t
he data carrier when the indicator is unlit.
If the CD/DVD indica
tor does not go out after a data carrier has been inserted, but
instead continues
to flash, this mean s that the drive cannot access the data carrier.
Either t he dat a car
rier is damaged or dirty or you are using a data
carrier that the d
rive cannot read.
