About Software

In order to create CD-R and CD-RW discs you will need to have mastering, packet
writing, or duplication software installed on your computer system. If you purchased
a retail kit from Plextor, you'll get:
• Plextor's PlexTools, a special utility software package to help you get the most
from your PlexWriter.
• Roxio's Easy CD Creator, a software bundle to format, play and record CD-R
and CD-RW media.
• A 30-day trial version of Dantz Retrospect, backup software that lets you back up
and restore individual files, folders, or your entire hard disk to CD-R or CD-RW
media.
For details about these software packages for writing to CD-R or CD-RW, please
look at the help option within the software, refer to their user's manuals, or visit the
web sites of the companies that developed them. A list of software packages that you
can use with your Plextor drive can be found in the Support/Compatibility section of
www.plextor.com.

Precautions

Like the rest of your computer system, your PlexWriter requires reasonable care in
its installation and use.
• Keep the area around your drive clean from dust, smoke, and other contaminants.
• Do not allow moisture or liquids, including water or cleaning fluids, to touch the
drive. Thinner, benzene, or alcohol-based solvents can mar your drive's surface.
• Do not drop or jolt the drive.
• Never switch off the power while your PlexWriter is working.
• Do not attempt to open the drive and service it yourself. Removing the cover may
expose you to harmful electrical voltages or the laser beam. For your safety,
entrust service to Plextor-authorized service personnel only.
• Keep your CDs free of dirt or other contaminants, by storing them in jewel cases.
Use only industry-standard discs. Do not insert dirty, warped, poorly balanced, or
cracked discs into the drive.
• Do not clean discs using a circular motion. Instead, using a soft, dry cloth, wipe
gently in a radial motion; start at the center of the disc and proceed to the outer
edge.
