Handling Discs
• Handle discs only by the edges. Do
not touch the recording surface of the
disc.
• Except where specified by the disc
manufacturer or warranty, do not
write on or attach labels to discs.
• Do not store discs in a dusty or dirty
location, in direct sunlight, near a
heater or in a humid location.
• Do not spill liquids on a disc.
• To protect valuable data, always store
discs in their cases.
• Gently wipe discs with a soft cloth,
from the center straight towards the
outer edge.
If a disc is very dirty, wet the cloth
with water, wring it out thoroughly,
wipe the disc with the damp cloth and
then use a dry cloth to wipe any
moisture off of the disc.
Do not use benzene, record cleaner,
anti-static solutions or other liquids,
as they can damage the disc.
• Never wipe a CD-R or CD-RW disc
with a cleaning solution before
recording data on the disc. Use a
blower to blow any dust off of the
surface of the disc.
• Scratches or dust on the unrecorded
portion of a CD-R or CD-RW disc
may prevent proper data recording.
Handle discs carefully.
Battery Pack
Considerations
• The correct battery pack for the
CRX10U is the Sony NP-F550. One
pack is supplied with the drive, but
additional packs can be purchased
separately.
• The CRX10U does not support the
power management feature of the NP-
F550 InfoLithium battery pack.
• Charge the battery pack using the
CRX10U with the provided AC
adapter (AC-CRX10U).
• The battery pack is partially charged
before shipping, but you should
charge it completely before use.
• The battery pack gradually discharges
itself when not being used, so even
after it has been fully charged, we
recommend recharging before use (if
more than a day or two has passed).
• Charge the battery pack where the
surrounding temperature is in the
range from 10 to 30°C. This will
provide longer battery operation.
• If the battery is not used for a long
time, it should be charged and then
discharged completely before storage,
and once each year to maintain its
usability.
