PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

1.  Discs that can operate on this CD-ROM drive follow the specification of
    the CD-ROM standard.

2.  During operating, if the CD-ROM drive is subjected to a sudden shock or
    jolt, the drive may not operate.

3.  Whenever moving the CD-ROM drive, be sure to first unload the CD Caddy.
    If the CD-ROM drive is moved with the CD Caddy loaded, the disc and the
    drive may be damaged.

4.  Do not move the CD-ROM drive from a very cold room to a warm room. When
    a chilled CD-ROM drive is moved suddenly to a warm location, condensat-
    ion may form on the pick-up lens preventing proper operation. In this 
    case, wait 30 minutes before resuming operations.

5.  Do not insert the CD Caddy in the wrong direction. It may cause damage 
    to the mechanism.

6.  Do not store discs in high-temperature, high-humidity locations. The
    discs may develop warps and become unusable. Also, discs with moisture 
    on them may not operate. Wipe any moisture off with a soft and dry 
    cloth, and be sure discs are fully dry before using.

7.  Do not install the CD-ROM drive in a place where an operating tempera-
    ture reaches beyond the specified temperature.

8.  Do not install the CD-ROM drive in any equipment that generates electric
    noise.
