Condensation
Avoid sudden temperature changes as
much as possible. Do not attempt to use
the drive immediately after moving it
from a cold to a warm location, or room
temperature rises suddenly, as
condensation may form within the
drive. If you experience a sudden
temperature change during operation,
halt operation immediately and wait
approximately one hour before
resuming operation of the drive.
Lens
Do not touch or look directly into the
lens inside the cover. To prevent dust
from accumulating on the lens, always
keep the cover closed except when
inserting or removing a disc.
Internal battery
• The internal battery is partially
charged upon shipment, but we
recommend that you charge it
completely before using the drive on
internal power.
• The internal battery gradually loses its
charge even when it is not in use. If
you do not use the drive for a day or
two, we recommend that you charge
the internal battery before using the
drive on internal power.
• Charge the internal battery at an
ambient temperature of 5 to 35°C. If
the internal temperature of the drive
exceeds 45°C, charging of the internal
battery stops automatically.
• If you do not use the internal battery
for an extended period of time, it
should be charged, then discharged
completely before being stored, and so
once a year to maintain its usability.
Connection to a USB hub
Connect the drive directly to the USB
connector of your computer. Operation
through a USB hub (including keyboard
USB hubs) cannot be guaranteed.
Disconnection from your
computer
The drive can be connected and
disconnected to your computer while it
is on. However, before disconnecting
the drive with Windows, you must click
the taskbar icon and perform the
procedure to stop and remove the
hardware.
The appearance of the taskbar icon
varies depending on your version of
Windows (see below). Click the icon
and follow the instructions on the
screen to stop and remove the drive.
With Windows XP, Windows Me, and
Windows 2000, it is necessary to stop
both the disc and “Memory Stick”
devices.
