Never turn off the device if a drive light indicates a drive
is active.
Turning off the device while it is reading from or writing
to a disk/disc or flash media may damage the disk/disc
or flash media, the drive, or both.
❖
Keep the device and disks away from objects that
generate strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo
speakers.
Information on some disks is stored magnetically.
Placing a magnet too close to a disk can erase important
files.

Scan all new files for viruses.
This precaution is especially important for files you
receive via email or download from the Internet.
Occasionally, even new programs you buy from a
supplier may contain a computer virus. You need a
special program to check for viruses.
