Optical Drive Precautions

Be sure to observe the following guidelines while operating or cleaning the optical 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 HP service provider.
