Precautions

Operation and storage conditions
Avoid using or storing DVDirect in a hot or
humid location, or where it might be subject
to severe vibration or direct sunlight.
Transportation
• Please repack DVDirect in its original
carton when shipping by itself.
• If DVDirect is to be shipped while
installed in a computer, remove any disc
beforehand.
Moisture condensation
Do not expose DVDirect to sudden
temperature changes. Do not use DVDirect
immediately after moving it from a cold to a
warm location, or raising the room
temperature suddenly, as condensation may
form within DVDirect. If the temperature
changes suddenly while using DVDirect,
stop using it, but keep the power on for at
least an hour.
Handling discs
• Handle discs only by the edges. Never
touch the recording surface.
• Do not affix labels on discs.
• Do not store discs in dusty, dirty or humid
locations, in direct sunlight, or near heat-
generating devices.
• To protect important data, always keep
discs in their cases.
• Do not wipe writable discs using a disc
cleaner before recording data. Instead, use
a blower to remove any dust.
• Data may not be recorded properly if there
are scratches or dust on the unrecorded
area of writable discs. Handle discs very
carefully.
Handling memory cards
• Do not drop, bend, or submit the memory
cards to external shock.
• Do not disassemble or modify the memory
cards.
• Avoid touching the terminal of a memory
card or contacting it with a metal object.
• Avoid getting liquids on a memory card or
using them in areas subject to high
humidity.
• Avoid using or storing a memory card in a
location subject to:
- extremely high temperature, such as the
hot interior of a car, outdoors exposed to
direct sunlight, or a place near a heater.
- direct sunlight
- high humidity
- corrosive substances
- excessive dust
- electrostatic or electronic noises
- magnetic fields
• When storing or carrying a memory card,
keep it in its original case to ensure
protection of important data.
• Avoid removing a memory card from its
slot or turning off the power button while
DVDirect is accessing it, as data may be
rendered unreadable.
