Operating the drive

Starting the drive

Turn on the drive.

Press the eject button and the drive’s tray extends.
Note: Eject button does not function if software disabled.

Place a disc in the drive tray with label side facing up.
Note: When used vertically, disc locks prevent disc from falling.

Gently press tray or eject button to close the tray. Drive may begin 
reading Lead in Data as it accepts disc. Busy indicator lights amber 
while reading Lead in Data. For subsequent drive operation, see 
software instructions.

Note:Busy indicator stays lighted if:

• the disc is not properly placed on loading tray
• a malfunction occurs

In either case, eject the disc and replace it in the loading tray assuring 
it sits properly in the tray. Should this not resolve the problem, contact 
the local dealer or qualified service personnel.

Caution: Do not forcibly close disc tray.  Excessive force may damage
the mechanism, which is designed to operate at a "feather touch.”

To eject media, simply press eject button and tray will extend from drive.

Software Installation

Please refer to the CD-RW formatting software manual (on software CD)
for instruction on software installation.  Formatting software must first be
properly installed in order to write CD’s with this drive.
