To safely unmount the AV300 hard drive, click on the system tray remove icon (green arrow as
shown below) and follow the instructions. Wait until you get a message saying that you can safely
unplug the device before disconnecting the USB cable. Attention: The operating system will not
allow you to safely disconnect the Multimedia AV300 if you have an open file from it in a running
application. You will have to close all open AV300 files in any running application. Sometimes,
even when files are closed in an application, you will have to shut down the application. Using the
green disconnect arrow in the system tray will then allow you to safely disconnect the AV300.

Drag the AV300 hard drive icon towards the trashcan, the trashcan will
become a big arrow as shown in the screen shot to the left (Mac OS 9.x
will still retain the trashcan icon. This is OK, don't worry.) Drop the hard
drive icon onto the arrow (or trashcan). The hard disk icon will disappear
from the desktop. You can now safely unplug the USB cable from your
AV300 and computer.
