2

Writing Data
•Do not touch, pick up, or move the CD/DVD Writer during the write process. This can damage the device and will cause errors on the disc being written
•Transcend does not take any responsibility for data loss or damage resulting from use of this product. If using this product to backup data, we strongly advise using high-quality recordable media, and that you fully test and verify the contents of all written discs. It is also a good idea to regularly backup important data to a different computer or other storage medium.
•To ensure High-Speed USB 2.0 data transfer rates when using your CD/DVD Writer with a computer, please check that the computer has the relevant USB drivers. If you are unsure about how to check this, please consult the computer or motherboard User’s Manual for USB driver information.
Power
•The CD/DVD Writer is powered directly from your computer’s USB port. However, the USB ports of certain computers may not supply enough power to use the CD/DVD Writer when using a single USB port. Please make sure to connect both large connector ends of the provided USB Cable to the USB ports on your computer. This will ensure the CD/DVD Writer receives adequate power for stable operation.
The second USB connector provides additional power for the CD/DVD Writer. Please make sure to connect both USB connectors to your computer’s USB ports.
•Only use the USB cable that came with the CD/DVD Writer to connect it to a computer, and always ensure that the cable is in good condition. NEVER use a cable that is frayed

or damaged.
•Ensure nothing is resting on the USB cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
•If you have connected all ends of the USB cable and still have power-related problems while reading / writing data, we recommend that you purchase a Transcend USB Power Adapter (TS-PA2A) to provide the power necessary to operate the CD/DVD Writer.
Reminders
• Always follow the procedures in the “Disconnecting from a Computer” section to remove the CD/DVD Writer from your computer.
