Handling data carriers

Handling
Observe the following guidelines when handling data carriers:
• Avoid touching the surface of a data carrier. Only handle data carriers by their edges.
• Always store data carriers in their cases. This will protect the data carrier against
being covered in dust, scratched or damaged in any other way.
• Protect your data carriers against dust, mechanical vibrations and direct sunlight.
• Avoid storing a data carrier in areas subject to high temperatures or humidity.
You can use data carriers with a diameter of 8 cm / 3.15" or 12 cm / 4.7" in the drive.
When using a data carrier of lesser quality, vibrations and reading errors may occur.

CD/DVD indicator

CD/DVDindicator
The CD/DVD indicator flashes when a data carrier is inserted. The indicator goes out when
the drive is ready for reading. The indicator lights up when the drive is being accessed.
You may only remove the data carrier when the indicator is unlit.
If the CD/DVD indicator does not go out after a data carrier has been inserted, but
instead continues to flash, this means that the drive cannot access the data carrier.
Either the data carrier is damaged or dirty or you are using a data
carrier that the drive cannot read.
