Caution!
The
disc
rotates
at
high
speed
in
the
drive
unit.
Use
of
worn,
damaged,
or
non-standard
CD-ROM
discs
can
adversely
affect
the
drive
and
cause
the
disc
to
shatter
or
crush
while
in
use.
Disc
crush
can
only
occur
when
you
use
a
damaged
CD-ROM
disc
in
the
drive.
It
is
an
extremely
rare
occurrence,
but
there
are
steps
which
can
be
taken
to
prevent
it.
Always
check
your
discs
before
inserting
them
into
the
drive.
1.
Take
care
not
to
use
worn,
cracked,
damaged,
warped
or
poor
quality
CD-ROMs,
as
this
may
cause
damage
to
your
drive.
2.
Check
the
clear
plastic
on
the
center
of
the
disc,
cracks
here
are
the
main
cause
of
disc
crush.
3.
Do
not
play
CD-ROMs
which
are
a
non-standard
(I.e.
non-circular)shape,
such
as
heart
shaped
discs,
or
discs
in
the
shape
of
a
business
card.
How
can
you
keep
your
discs
from
becoming
damaged?
1.
When
not
in
use,
remove
discs
from
the
drive.
2.
Keep
discs
in
the
packaging
supplied
with
them
and
out
of
direct
sunlight
and
away
from
heat
sources.
Excessive
vibration
or
a
sudden
jolt
to
the
drive
during
operation
may
cause
a
malfunction.
Avoid
exposing
the
drive
to
sudden
changes
in
temperature
as
it
may
cause
condensation
to
collect
inside
the
drive.
