Introduction
CF-VDRRT3U.indb 14 2007/03/23 11:00:50
Do not place items other than discs in the drive. Do not leave the disc cover in the open position or touch the lens.
Under some conditions, dust may build up on the lens, or on a disc. This may result in a read or write malfunction.
Do not open the drive or move the computer while the drive is being accessed. Doing so could cause it to malfunction. In addition, after running an application involving access to a disc, do not open the drive or remove the disc until the application has been closed.
Do not expose the drive to excessive smoke that may leave a residue, i.e. oil smoke, or tobacco smoke. Doing so could shorten the life of the drive lens.
We recommend cleaning the drive lens with an air puffer used for camera lenses. (Do not use any spray-type of lens cleaning products.)
Never insert foreign objects such as paper clips into the drive. Doing so could cause it to malfunction.
Do not use discs that have become deformed, warped, or are not completely round. Do not touch the interface cable while the drive is being accessed. Doing so may cause
the drive and/or computer to malfunction. In the case of DVD-RAM, only non-cartridge discs or removable cartridge discs can be
used. If the computer has both USB2.0 and USB1.1 ports, use the USB2.0 port. When connection is made to the USB1.1 port, the drive functions as a USB1.1 drive. When the drive is used as a USB1.1 drive, the picture and sound playback of DVD-Video
discs may be interrupted and may not play smoothly. For AutoPlay CDs:
If an AutoPlay CD does not start after the computer resumes from the sleep (Windows Vista), standby (Windows XP) or hibernation modes, remove the disc from the drive, then reinsert the disc again after a 15 second wait.
An AutoPlay CD may start during le access, depending on the status of the disc.
15
Usage Precautions
Do not look into the CD/DVD Drive Looking directly at the internal laser light source may result in damage to eyesight.
Do not use discs that are cracked or deformed Because the discs rotate at high speeds, damaged discs may break apart causing injury. Discs that are not round and discs that have been repaired using adhesives are similarly
dangerous, and so should not be used.
CF-VDRRT3U.indb 15 2007/03/23 11:00:50
Handling Discs with Care: Before using discs, carefully read through the Operating Instructions, the instructions for handling the discs, and whatever is written on the disc packaging. If the discs are not handled properly, they may become dirty or scratched, the writing speed may be reduced or data may not be recorded or played back properly. Other damage may result including drive failures. Keep the following precautions. Do not touch the data surface. Keep the disc surfaces clean and free from dirt, dust and ngerprints, and do not allow
them to become scratched. Do not write on the surface of the disc with a ballpoint pen or other writing instrument nor
paste any paper to it. Do not drop, bend, or place heavy objects on top of discs. Do not place or store discs in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, humidity or
dust. If the disc is brought from a cold into a warm environment, moisture may form on the disc.
Wipe this moisture off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc. When discs are not actually being used, make sure to keep them inside their protective
cases or cartridges. If the disc becomes dirty, clean it with the followings.

Connection
1 Turn your computer on. 2 Connect the end of the interface
cable (included) with the smaller of the two plugs to the drives interface connector.
3 Connect the end of the interface cable with the larger of the two plugs to the computers USB port. The drives power is now turned on automatically, and the indicator lights up in green.
(Example of connections)
The drives 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 drives 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).
