Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The CD/DVD drive is a class 1 laser product. If you open the housing of the CD/DVD drive, there is a risk of exposure to invisible laser
radiation. This laser radiation could damage
your retina. There is a risk of injury.
Never open the housing. Always have main-
tenance and repair work carried out at a quali- fied specialist workshop. G
WARNING
Handling discs while driving may distract you from traffic conditions. You could also lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Handle discs only when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h) your vehicle covers
a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
every se cond. General notes
Notes on discs !
Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage COMAND.
Stickers can cause the disc to bend, which can result in read errors and disc recogni-
tion problems.
! COMAND is designed to play discs that
comply with the EN 60908 standard. There-
fore, you can only use discs with a maxi-
mum thickness of 1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that
contain data on both sides (DVD on one
side and audio data on the other), they can- not be ejected and can damage the device.
Only use round discs with a diameter of
12 cm. Do not use discs with a diameter of 8 cm, even with an adapter.
The variety of data media, burners and burn
software means there is no guarantee that
the system will be able to play discs that you have copied yourself. 240
