NOTE
•
The drive's on/off power operations are coupled to the computer so that when the
computer is turned on or off, the drive will be automatically turned on or off.
•
The drive's power is automatically turned on or off by connecting or disconnecting
the interface cable.
CAUTION
•
Do not connect any other cable in place of the interface cable which is supplied with
the drive. Doing so may damage the drive and/or computer.

Connect the drive directly to the computer. No guarantees can be made for the operation
if it is connected via a USB hub.

The disc cover will not be locked in place even if an attempt is made to close the disc
cover while it remains ajar. In a case like this, open it up all the way, and then close
it.

We recommend using this drive alone, not with other USB devices (except low power
consumption devices such as USB mouse and USB keyboard).
