Super Multi-Burner drive.
Before you begin
For best results, review the following guidelines before using the drive:
v Do not move your host computer or drive while formatting or writing a disc as this might cause data
errors. Also, minimize typing while formatting or writing to a disc, as this might also cause data errors.
v Keep the host computer and USB drive on a flat surface when writing to a disc.
v Turn screensavers off. Using a screensaver might interrupt the formatting and writing process.
v Do not put your Host computer into hibernation or suspend mode while writing to a disc.
Note: The read and write results of the drive depend upon the quality and characteristics of the DVD or
CD media used.

Cleaning the drive
Wipe off soil on the drive using a soft cloth. If soil is persistent, use a cloth dampened with a diluted
neutral detergent after squeezing all the water out. If liquid is allowed into the drive, it may cause a
serious malfunction, an electric shock or a fire. When cleaning with liquid, be sure to remove the
provided AC adapter from the wall outlet after disconnecting the drive from your computer.
Do not apply solvents such as benzene or thinner. Chemical cleaners for home or industrial use may
damage the coating of the drive.
