Be sure to observe the following guidelines while operating or
cleaning your CD-ROM drive.

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.

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.

which may damage the finish.
If any object or liquid falls into the drive, immediately unplug the
computer and have it checked by an authorized Compaq service
provider.
