Installing the Writing Software
After installing the Cable II software, your FREECOM Traveller II drive is now able
to read CD-ROMs.
To record a blank CD, you must first install the writing software (for the
mastering or the packet writing procedure). We recommend using the software
which has been provided with your drive.
The installation guide for the software is supplied with the CD. After installation,
the drive is fully operational.
Note: If you wish to use other software, please find out from the
supplier whether his products support the FREECOM Traveller II CD-RW
/ Combo CD-RW / DVD.
4.1 Special Instructions before Writing a CD
You should realize that writing CDs is principally a sensitive data transmission
procedure which can be disrupted by even the smallest mechanical disturbance.
Never clean the CD-R, CD-RW drive with a commercially available CD or a CD-
ROM cleaning set. This can damage the drive.
Recordable and Rewritable CDs (blanks) are more sensitive than commercially
available CDs. Use only a solvent-free, non-abrasive marker when writing on
a CD.
Do not stick any conventional labels on the CD-Rs/CD-RWs, since the adhesive
can attack the medium. Special labels for CD-R/CD-RW media are available in
retail computer stores. Never remove a label from a CD-R/CD-RW media
otherwise you will damage the protective layer and make the CD-R/CD-RW
unusable.
The drive recognizes the medium as soon as it is placed into the drive. CD-R/
CD-RW media are compatible with the vast majority of CD-ROM drives and
CD audio players and work in most DVD-ROM drives.
Recommendation: For optimal results, use FREECOM blank CDs or those
with a brand name.
