NOTICE

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
— Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
— Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital

apparatus as set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of
Communications.

HEED THE FOLLOWING

Read the operating instructions carefully before using the unit and be
sure to use it properly. After reading the instructions, store them in an
easily accessible place so they can be consulted whenever necessary.

WARNING

• Continued use should there be an irregularity (smoke, abnormal
smell or sound, etc.) will lead to fires or electric shocks. If there
should be an irregularity, immediately turn off the power of the
computer on which the unit is installed and request servicing.

• Do not disassemble or modify the unit in any way. Doing so will
lead to fires or electric shocks.

• Make sure that no foreign objects get in the unit, as this will lead
to fires or electric shocks. If a foreign object should get in the
unit, immediately turn off the power of the computer on which
the unit is installed and request servicing.

• Do not let fluids get in the unit or let the unit get wet, as this will
lead to fires or electric shocks. If fluid should get in the unit,
immediately turn off the power of the computer on which the unit
is installed and request servicing.

• Do not use with any power voltage other than the indicated
voltage. Doing so will lead to fires or electric shocks.

• Do not store or use the unit in places where it may be subject to
shocks or strong vibrations. Doing so will lead to fires or electric
shocks.

• Do not store or use the unit in places where it may be exposed
to chemicals or chemical vapors. Doing so will lead to fires or
electric shocks.

CAUTION

• When connecting computer equipment, audio equipment,
speakers, etc., be sure to read the respective manuals carefully,
turn of the power, and follow the connection instructions. Using
cords other than the specified cords or extending cords could
generate heat and result in burns, etc.

• Set the volume to the minimum before turning on the power.
Sudden bursts of loud sound could result in hearing impairment.

• Do not store or use the unit in extremely hot places or places
where the humidity fluctuates greatly. Doing so could lead to
fires or electric shocks.

• Do not store or use the unit in places exposed to direct sunlight
or near equipment that generates heat. Doing so could lead to
fires.

• Do not place the unit on unsteady tables, slanted surfaces or
other unstable surfaces. The unit could fall or tip over, resulting
in injury.

• Do not store or use the unit in humid or dusty places . Doing so
could lead to fires or electric shocks.

• Do not store or use the unit with heavy objects or objects that
stick out passed the frame on top of it. The object or unit may
lose its balance and tip over or fall, resulting in injury.

• Do not let stick your hands into the disc insertion slot, as this
could cause injury.

• Do not use cracked or misshapen discs or discs that have been
repaired with adhesives, etc. Discs rotate at high speeds inside
the unit. If such discs are used, they may break and fly out,
resulting in injury.

• Do not look directly at the laser source. Exposing the eyes to the
laser beam could result in vision impairment.

• When used near a radio or TV, the unit may generate noise in
the radio or TV. Also, if there is equipment generating strong
magnetic forces nearby, this may generate noise in the unit.

• Keep the CD tray closed except when inserting or removing CDs
in order to prevent injury from bumping into the CD tray.

or printing).

• Do not apply paper labels or write on any part of the disc, data side or
label side. Do not use the disc leaved a mark strip paper labels.

• If dust or fingerprints get on the disc, wipe it with a soft cloth from the
center to the edge.

• Do not use benzine, paint thinner, record cleaner, or static repellent.
This can damage the disc.

• Do not place the disc in any place where it will be subjected to direct
sunlight or high temperatures.

Installation

Jumper Setting

A jumper consists of a pair of pins and a connector which fits over the
pins. When the connector is in place it establishes an electronic link
between the pins, which enables the function being controlled by the
jumper. If the connector is removed, the electronic link is broken and the
function is disabled.

Jumpers are used to set the CD-ROM reader mode on the IDE interface.
