Precautions

LaCie DL DVD±RW Drive

User’s Manual

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's 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

appears 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

containing 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.

Precautions

page 6

LaCie DL DVD±RW Drive

User’s Manual

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

the ventilation outlets may cause damage to your drive and cause an increased risk of short-circuiting or fire.

• Always unplug the drive if there is a risk of lightning or if it will not be used for an extended period of time. Otherwise,

there is an increased risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting or fire.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the drive or use excessive force on its buttons, connectors and tray. Doing so increases

the risk of damage to the device.

• Always place your drive in a horizontal position before using it. Otherwise, it may fall, causing damage to the device and

/ or corruption or loss of data.

• Always remove the disc from the disc tray before transporting your drive. Otherwise, written data may be destroyed or the

drive's internal components may be damaged.

• Never use excessive force on the disc loading system; discs should be inserted effortlessly into your drive. If you detect a

problem, consult the Troubleshooting section.

• Protect your drive from excessive exposure to dust during use or storage. Dust can build up inside the device, increasing the

risk of damage or malfunction.

• Never use benzene, paint thinners, detergent or other chemical products to clean the outside of the drive. Such products will

disfigure and discolor the front panel and casing. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the device.

1. Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new LaCie DL DVD±RW Drive – your complete DVD and CD creation solution! This

drive gives you maximum compatibility with the various DVD and CD formats, reading and writing to all of the popular

standards (DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW) and introduces a brand new standard: DVD+R9 Double Layer (DL).

Supported DVD and CD Logos

Double Layer DVD Recording

With the same technology that underpins Hollywood-style DVD-Videos, Double Layer (DL) discs are compatible with most

consumer set-top DVD players and computer DVD-ROM drives. On one DVD+R9 DL disc, you’ll be able to store up to four

hours of MPEG-2 video, sixteen hours of VHS-quality video or increase the video bit rate for higher quality movies. And with

8.5GB of storage space on a single DL disc, they’re ideal for archiving and backup applications, and could even be used as

replacement for tape in some instances.

Now you have the tools to make high-impact, professional quality DVD videos, conveniently make system backups and

preserve all of your memories for the future.

1.1. What Your LaCie Drive Can Do

• Burn videos for playback on computers and DVD players

• Play, edit, organize and burn your digital music

• Save large data projects or make backups

User’s Manual

3. Installing Your LaCie Drive

3.1. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Caution!

Before handling and installing your LaCie DL DVD±RW Drive, ensure that you have properly grounded

yourself. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can quickly and easily damage or destroy your component or your

computer. Please read the following information to properly ground yourself.

Static electricity is an electric charge caused by an imbalance of electrons on the surface of a material. When you touch an

object and are shocked, this is the transfer of the static charge or the balancing of your charge to that of the object. This

exchange is called Electrostatic Discharge or ESD.

ESD can cause two different types of damage to computers and peripherals: (1) Catastrophic, which is the complete loss of

device functionality, and (2) Latent Defect, where the device is only partially effected, and the device loses part of its

productivity and longevity.

Because we cannot eliminate the generation of static electricity, it is extremely important to follow the proper steps to ground

yourself before handling your LaCie DL DVD±RW Drive or touching any internal component of your computer. This can be

accomplished by proper grounding in conjunction with the use of ESD safe mats, wrist or shoe straps. Consult your computer

supply specialist for more details on the correct ESD dissipative device to fit your needs.
