6.1.1 Using the Cleaning Cartridge
Note: To prevent contamination of the subsystem and damage to the heads (1) do not use the
cleaning cartridge for more than the manufacturer's specified number of cleaning cycles; and
(2) do not attempt to rewind the material in the cleaning cartridge and reuse it.
1. Insert the cleaning cartridge into the drive. The drive automatically takes the cartridge, loads
it and cleans the heads. After about 30 seconds, the drive ejects the cartridge.
Note: If the cartridge ejects after only about 15 seconds, this means the cartridge has reached the
end of its useful life, and no cleaning has occurred. The Cleaning Needed LED may still be
illuminated. If this happens, discard the cartridge and with a new cleaning cartridge repeat
the cleaning operation.
2. Take the cartridge out of the drive. Write the date on the label of the cleaning cartridge so
that there is a record of how many times it has been used. Do not use the cleaning cartridge
more times than specified by the manufacturer.
6.2 Cleaning the LCD
Put household glass cleaner on a soft cloth and wipe screen.
Caution: Do not spray the cleaner directly on the LCD because the liquid might drip into the enclosure
or computer.
6.3 Operating Environment
The subsystem operates in any clean, indoor location. Do not store or operate the drive outside of the
environmental ranges listed in the Chapter 7.
6.3.1 Avoid placing the drive in direct sunlight, rain or other moisture
6.3.2 Keep all subsystem ventilation openings unobstructed.
