deliberately opening the shutter on the

cartridge.

Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or

heat sources such as hot air-ducts. Do not leave

it in a car parked in the direct sunlight where

there can a considerable rise in temperature.

Make sure that it is not left on the dashboard

or rear tray of a car etc. where the temperature

can also be excessive.

Notes on mounting labels

Be sure to mount labels on cartridges correctly,

as failing to do so may cause an MD to become

stuck in the unit.

•Mount the label in a suitable position.

•Remove old labels before putting new ones

on.

•Replace labels that are beginning to peel

away from the MD.
