Precautions
Operation and storage conditions
Avoid using or storing the DVDirect in hot
or humid locations, or places where it might
be subject to severe vibration or direct
sunlight.
Transportation
Please repack the DVDirect in its original
carton when shipping by itself.
If the DVDirect is to be shipped, remove
any disc beforehand.
Moisture condensation
Do not expose the DVDirect to sudden
temperature changes. Do not use the
DVDirect immediately after moving it from
a cold to warm location or raising the room
temperature suddenly, as condensation may
have formed within the DVDirect. If the
temperature changes suddenly while using
the DVDirect, keep the power on, but stop
using it for at least an hour.
Handling discs
Handle discs only by the edges. Never
touch the recording surface.
Do not affix labels on discs.
Do not store discs in dusty or humid
locations, in direct sunlight, or near heat-
generating devices.
To protect important data, always keep
discs in their cases.
Do not wipe writable discs using a disc
cleaner before recording data. Instead, use
a blower to remove any dust.
Data may not be recorded properly if there
are scratches or dust on the unrecorded
area of writable discs. Handle discs very
carefully.

Do not drop, bend, or submit the memory
cards to external shock.
Do not disassemble or modify the memory
cards.
Avoid touching the terminal of a memory
card or touching it with a metal object.

using them in areas subject to high
humidity.

location subject to:

When storing or carrying a memory card,
keep it in its original case to ensure
protection of important data.

the DVDirect is accessing it, as data may
be rendered unreadable.
