Setting Up Your CD-ROM Drive

WARNING

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or any

other type of moisture.

CAUTION

The OmniBook’s F1044B ac adapter can power the OmniBook with the CD-

ROM drive only, and not the docking system or the Power Clip battery charger

at the same time. Attempting to power more than one of these peripheral

devices with this adapter can cause data loss or hardware damage to your

systems. To use more than one of these peripheral devices.at a time, you must

either give each additional device its own ac adapter or acquire an HP F1140A

ac adapter instead, which can power all these devices simultaneously.

SCSI Adapter Cable

OmniBook ac Adapter

This CD-ROM drive can be used with a power cable or batteries (batteries not supplied). Because of high power demands when accessing data CDs, batteries are not recommended. For audio CDs, batteries work well.

To connect the power cable

Connect one end of the CD-ROM power cable to the DC IN jack on the CD-ROM drive and the other end to the OmniBook, then connect the OmniBook ac adapter.

CD-ROM Power Cable

To use batteries in your CD-ROM drive

CAUTION

Batteries contain corrosive materials, which can damage equipment and cause

injury.

• Install batteries according to the diagram in the battery compartment.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, or alkaline batteries with any other

battery type.

• Remove all batteries when not using the CD-ROM drive for extended

periods.

• Do not charge, short circuit, disass emble, heat, or burn batteries.

Battery Cover

Alkaline batteries are recommended.

1. Open the battery cover by sliding it out and lifting it up.

2. Insert six “AA” size batteries, making sure to match the polarities to the diagram in the battery compartment.

3. Replace the battery cover.

Replace the batteries when you see the flashing low-battery indicator appear on the CD-ROM display. Normal battery life while accessing data CDs is 30 to 45 minutes. While playing audio CDs, it is approximately 4 hours.
