LaCie Slim DVD±RW Drive User Manual
FireWire / LightScribe / Toast 7 Titanium
Health, Safety and General Use Precautions
The drive you have just purchased includes a laser diode device, which classifies it as a "Laser Class I" product. This laser is
not dangerous for the user under normal operating conditions. However, we strongly advise you not to place any reflective
objects in the disc loading system, due to the risk of exposure to laser emissions that may be reflected by such objects.
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to use your LaCie drive safely and correctly. Respecting these guidelines
will help to avoid the possibility of personal injury to yourself or others, as well as to prevent damage to your device and
other computer equipment. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Health and Safety Precautions
• Read this User Manual carefully, and follow the correct procedure when setting up the device.
• Do not look inside or place your hand over the open DVD/CD media tray. Never look directly or indirectly (with a mirror)
at the laser diode, even when the device is not in operation. If you expose your eyes or skin to the laser inside you drive,
you risk damage or loss of your vision or other personal injury.
• Do not open your drive or attempt to disassemble or modify it. Never insert any metallic object into the drive to avoid any
risk of electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions. Your drive contains no user-serviceable parts. If it ap-
pears to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by qualified LaCie service staff.
• Never expose your device to rain or use it near water or in damp or wet conditions. Never place containers on it contain-
ing liquids that may spill into its openings. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire or personal
injury.
• Make sure that the computer and drive are electrically grounded. If the devices are not grounded, there is an increased
risk of electrical shock.
• Do not listen to audio with headphones at an excessive volume for prolonged periods of time. Doing so increases the risk
of hearing damage or loss.
• Before listening to music with your drive, set the volume control to minimum. Sudden bursts of sound at loud volumes can
cause immediate hearing damage or loss.
General Use Precautions
• Do not expose the drive to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 40° C (41° F to 104° F) during operation. Doing so
may damage the drive or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your drive near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight
(even through a window). Inversely, placing your drive in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit.
• Do not block the ventilation outlets on the rear of the drive. These help to keep your drive cool during operation. Blocking
