CD-ROM Drive
Precautions
Be sure to observe the following guidelines while operating or
cleaning your CD-ROM drive.
Operation
■
Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it
to malfunction during reading.
■
Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature,
as condensation may form inside the unit. If the temperature
suddenly changes while the drive is on, wait at least one
hour before you turn off the power. If you operate the unit
immediately, it may malfunction while reading.
■
Avoid placing the drive in a location that is subject to high
humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, or
direct sunlight.
Cleaning
■
Clean the panel and controls with a soft, dry cloth or a soft
cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.
Never spray cleaning fluids directly on the unit.
■
Avoid using any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzene,
which may damage the finish.
Safety
If any object or liquid falls into the drive, immediately unplug
the computer and have it checked by an authorized Compaq
service provider.
