BATTERIES

Caring for your Batteries
Always handle batteries carefully.
■
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do
■
not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not
carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they may
mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects. Doing so
may cause an explosion or fire.
Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin-
■
erate the battery.
Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and
■
only in ventilated areas.
Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a
■
day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.
Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6
■
months without recharging it.

MEDIA CARE

Caring for your Media (DVD/CD/CD-R)

ably if given reasonable care.
Always store your media disc in its case when it is not in
■
use.
Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching the
■
surface.
Avoid storing any media discs in extreme temperatures.
■
Do not bend media discs or set heavy objects on them.
■
Do not spill liquids on media discs.
■
■ Do not scratch media discs.
Do not get dust on media discs.
■
Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen or
■
pencil. Always use a felt pen.
If a media disc is subjected to a sudden change in tem-
■
perature, cold to warm condensation may form on the
surface. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint
free cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT
use a hair dryer or heater to dry media discs.
If a disc is dirty, use only a DVD/CD cleaner or wipe it
■
with a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner
edge and wiping to the outer edge.
