Important Precautions
WARNING: This drive, ND-2100A is bearing "DVD+ReWritable" Logo and "Compact Disc ReWritable Ultra Speed" Logo. Only drives (such as the NEC ND-2100A) bearing the logo "DVD+ReWritable" can write or erase DVD+RW media. Only drives (such as the NEC ND-2100A) bearing the logo "Compact Disc ReWritable Ultra Speed" can write or erase Ultra and High Speed CD-RW media. Ultra and High Speed CD-RW Media may be recognized by the same "Compact Disc ReWritable Ultra Speed and Compact Disc ReWritable High Speed" logo on the disc label or packaging material, or by the fact that it lists recording speeds of "8X to 24X" and "4X to 10X".
WARNING: Avoid placing the
drive in a location subject to
high humidity
high temperature
excessive dust
mechanical vibration
direct sunlight
WARNING:
Do not suddenly move the drive from a
cold environment to a warm environment.
Condensation may occur within the drive,
causing temporary abnormal operation.
Remove any disc from the drive prior
to moving the drive. Failure to do so
may result in damaged discs and data
loss.
Prevent foreign objects, such as
liquids or metal, from entering the
drive.
Do not interrupt the electric power
while the drive is operating.
WARNING: Please backup (copy)
all important data as protection against
data loss.
WARNING: Don't pull out or
push in the disc tray forcibly. This might
cause damage to the loading section of the
drive.
WARNING: Be careful to connect
power with the proper polarity. Connecting
the wrong way may damage the system (and
voids the warranty). Usually the power
connector can only be attached one way.
WARNING: Do not connect or
disconnect cables when the power is on, as
this could cause a short circuit and damage
the system. Always turn the power OFF when
connecting or disconnecting cables.
WARNING: The discs in this
unit operate at a very high speed. DO NOT
use damaged, cracked or warped discs. The
drive's optical unit may be damaged if they
break. DO NOT use non-standard discs.
Non-standard discs may not play or store
data properly.
WARNING: When using CD-R,
CD-RW, DVD+R, or DVD+RW discs, don't attach
any stickers or labels to the discs. Using
discs with labels attached not only causes
read and write errors, but data on the disc
may be lost due to damage to the disc
itself.
