Sony AITE260 Operating Instructions - Page 31

■ Avoid sudden changes in temperature If the drive is moved from a cool place to a warm place, or if the room temperature suddenly rises, moisture may condense inside the case. After a sudden change in temperature, turn off the drive and wait at least one hour before turning it on again. Inserting a cartridge with condensation inside the drive can damage the drive or the tape. Immediately remove cartridges in the drive if there is a possibility that there is condensation inside. Leaving the drive on without inserting cartridges, moreover, will quickly evaporate any condensation. ■ Abnormal occurrences If the drive behaves abnormally, or if it begins to smell or smoke, immediately unplug it from the wall outlet and contact your supplier for assistance. ■ Cabinet cleaning Wipe the cabinet with a soft dry cloth. For heavy dirt, wipe with a soft cloth moistened with a gentle liquid soap, then wipe again with a soft dry cloth. Do not use alcohol, paint thinner, bug sprays, or other volatile solvents, as they can damage the finish. 31 Part 4. Care and Maintenance
