IMPORTANT NOTES
652
• Floppy disks have a "write protect" tab which can protect
the disk from accidental erasure. It is recommended that
the tab be kept in the PROTECT position, and moved to
the WRITE position only when you wish to write new
data onto the disk.

653
• The identification label should be firmly affixed to the
disk. Should the label come loose while the disk is in the
drive, it may be difficult to remove the disk.
654
• Store all disks in a safe place to avoid damaging them, and
to protect them from dust, dirt, and other hazards. By
using a dirty or dust-ridden disk, you risk damaging the
disk, as well as causing the disk drive to malfunction.
655
• Disks containing performance data for this unit should
always be locked (have their write protect tab slid to the
"Protect" position) before you insert them into the drive
on some other unit (except the PR-300, or a product in the
HP-G, MT, KR, or Atelier families), or into a computer's
drive. Otherwise (if the write protect tab remains in the
"Write" position), when you perform any disk operations
using the other device's disk drive (such as checking the
contents of the disk, or loading data), you risk rendering
the disk unreadable by this unit's disk drive.
Before Using CDs
Handling the CD Drive
Add
• Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been moved
to a location with a level of humidity that is greatly
different than its former location. Rapid changes in the
environment can cause condensation to form inside the
drive, which will adversely affect the operation of the
drive and/or damage discs. When the unit has been
moved, allow it to become accustomed to the new
environment (allow a few hours) before operating it.
Add
• Remove any disc from the drive before powering up or
down.
Add
• To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage, insert
only discs with into the CD drive. Never insert any other
type of disc. Avoid getting paper clips, coins, or any other
foreign objects inside the drive.
Add
• Do not subject to vibrations or physical shock during use,
and do not move the unit while the power is turned on.
Add
• The pickup is of dust-resistant construction. Do not use
pickup cleaners or other such materials, as they may
damage the pickup.
