Chapter 4 Precautions

On the Subsystem

Safety Considerations

■ Power supply
• Be sure to use 100 - 240 V AC.
• Do not share the AC outlet with any other
power-consuming equipment such as copying
machines or shredders.
■ AC power cord
• Be careful not to place or drop heavy object on
the power cord, or subject it to anything that
may damage it.
• When unplugging the cord from an AC outlet,
be sure to grasp the plug itself. Pulling on the
cord may cause damage to the internal wiring.
• Unplug the unit when not using it for long
period of time.
■ Handling the emergency eject tool
The tip of the emergency eject tool is sharp.
When handling the tool, please be careful to
avoid injury. Do not use the tool for any purpose
other than ejecting disks.

Damage Prevention

■ Do not subject the subsystem to
shock or vibration
Dropping the unit or subjecting it to strong
impact may damage the subsystem.
■ Setting position
The subsystem is designed to be used in the
horizontal position. Do not position it at an angle.
■ Location requirements
Careful consideration should be given to the
following in selecting a site to install or store
your subsystem.
Avoid the following conditions:
• High humidity
• High temperatures
• Direct sunlight
• Dust
• Strong vibration
• Wide temperature fluctuations
■ Ventilation
Care should be exercised to prevent the internal
mechanisms of the subsystem from overheating.
Be careful not to clog or block the vent, or place
the unit in an area with poor ventilation. The
subsystem may stop operating altogether if the
internal temperature becomes too high.
■ Condensation
Avoid subjecting the subsystem to extremes in
temperature. If, for example, the subsystem is
moved suddenly from a very cold location to a
warm one, moisture from condensation may form
within the unit due to the quick rise in ambient
temperature. If a sudden change in the
temperature cannot be avoided, wait for an hour
or more before using the subsystem. Inserting a
disk cartridge into the mechanism when moisture
is present may cause damage to both the disk and
the subsystem. Remove the disk cartridge
immediately if you suspect any condensation
problems. The moisture should evaporate quickly
if the subsystem is left on without a disk inserted.
