2
Page 5
Cautions During Use
Don’t suddenly move the drive from a cold place to a warm one, or suddenly
raise the room temperature. Condensation may occur, causing abnormal
operation.
Make sure to remove the disc before moving the drive. The disc may be
damaged, causing data loss.
Be careful to prevent foreign objects such as liquids or metal from entering
the drive. Should by chance a foreign object enter the drive, please consult
the dealer where the drive was purchased.
Don’t use benzene or thinner to clean dirt from the drive. Don’t al-low
chemicalssuch as insecticides to contactthe drive. Use a soft cloth to wipe the
drive, or moisten a cloth with neutral detergent diluted with water and use
it to clean particularly dirty areas.
Don’t cutoff the electric power while the drive is operating.
Never insert a damaged disc into the drive.
I
In wintertime, don’t use a disc soon after bringing in from outdoors. Use
only after it has reached room temperature.
SCSI:
l If two different devices with the same SCSI ID are connected to the SCSI bus,
the system may fail to function. Be careful that none of the SCSI
IDS
are the
same when installing the equipment.
l Keep the total length of the SCSI cable within 6 meters.
l When connecting the SCSI cable to the drive, make sure the power is OFF.
IDE-ATAPI:
l The total length of the IDE cable should be no more than 18 inches (about 45
cm).
l Make sure the power to the host computer is turned OFF before connecting.
l When connecting two IDE devices to the Primary or Secondary connectors,
make sure that the two devices are not both configured as Master, or both
as Slave. If they are both set the same, Windows may fail to run or
recognize
the drives.
it
Cautions Concerning Disc Cleaning
l
Remove the disc by pressing the eject button.
l
Use compressed air to clear dust from the drive. (Spray the compressed air for
about 5 seconds).
l

The FREECOM internal CD-RW
drive
The FREECOM internal CD-RW (the CD-RW Drive) can do much more than read
and write the usual CD-R discs.
When loaded with a rewritable CD-RW disc, you can record, read and edit any
kind of data. This is because the CD-RW discs allow
you
to rewrite information
that has already been recorded.
Features / Media formats:
Can read not only CD-R and CD-RW discs, but also video CDs, music CDs, and
photo CDs.
The recorded CD-RW media can be played in a DVD player or a multiread
CD-
ROM Player, maintaining future compatibility.
Supports random UDF for easy writing to CD-RW discs.
CD-R, CD-RW discs:
Ricoh,
Kao, Mitsubishi Chemical, Taiyo Yuden, Mitsui
Toatsu, TDK or Kodak discs are recommend.
Occasionally the CD-R and CD-RW discs written by the CD-RW drive cannot
be read by other CD drives. These unreadable discs should be read using the
CD-RW drive.
The disc written using the CD-RW drive might not be readable by CD-ROMs
other than Multi-read compatible (Random UDF compatible) CD-ROMs.
Multiread compatible (Random UDF compatible) CD-ROMs are:
-
CD-ROMs that can read low reflectance
-
CD-ROMs that support Packet Write.

1. Turn the power to OFF.
2. Poke a fine tipped object into the small hole above the eject button. The
front door pops open and the disk tray comes partway out.
3.
Pull the front door to open it all the way, then grip the disc tray between
thumb and forefinger and gently pull it straight out. This feature is a last
measure to be used only in an emergency. Using it excessively will cause
malfunction.
Note! If you cannot get a good grip on the disc tray with yourfingers, use a steel
binder clip or spring clamp to pull it out.
4. Using the Drive in a Vertical Position
The drive can be installed in a vertical position. If this is done, the tabs on the disk
tray will need to be rotated to stop the disk from falling out. with your finger,
rotate the tabs inwards until you hear a click, so they face the
center
of the tray.
The disk is inserted on the inside of these tabs.
