We recommend using the drive in a horizontal position. Do not use it in a tilted or vertical position.

• Don’t move the drive suddenly from a cold place to a warm one or raise the room temperature suddenly. 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. In case a foreign object enters the drive, please consult the dealer where the drive was purchased.

• Don’t interrupt the electric power while the drive is operating.

• When connecting two IDE devices to the Primary or Secondary connectors, make sure that the two devices are not configured as both Master, or both Slave. If they are both set the same, Windows may fail to run or recognize the drives.

• The total length of the IDE cable should be no more than 18 inches (about 45 cm).
