Cleaning CD-ROM Discs
3 Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause read errors.
Proper care of the disc is essential to maintain its reliability. Do not
use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners
or anti-static spray, as they may cause damage to the disc.
3 For normal cleaning, hold the disc by its edge and use a soft cloth to
wipe the surface from the center out.
3 If the disc is badly soiled, moisten a soft cloth with water, wring it out
well, and use it to wipe the surface of the disc from the center out.
Wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry soft cloth.
On Using Batteries
3 Never leave the battery pack in temperatures above 140° F (60° C),
such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight.
3 Battery life is shorter in a cold environment. This is due to decreased
battery efficiency at low temperatures.
3 Charge the batteries at temperatures between 50° F and 80° F (10° C
to 30° C). Lower temperatures require a longer charging time.
3 While the battery is in use or being discharged, the battery pack heats
up. This is normal and is not cause for concern.
3 Keep the battery pack away from all sources of heat.
3 Keep the battery pack dry.
