Follow these precautions when handling the drive or discs.
• Please take notice that the manufacturer of this equipment does not
offer any warranty against data loss due to inappropriate installation
or handling, or direct or indirect damages.
• Please take notice that the manufacturer will bear no responsibility
for direct or indirect damages caused by the use of this product or its

• Please backup (copy) all important data as a protection against data

• Avoid placing the drive in a location subject to:
- high humidity
- high temperature
- excessive dust
- mechanical vibration
- direct sunlight
We recommend using the drive in a horizontal or vertical position.
Do not use it in tilted position.
• Don’t move the drive suddenly from a cold place to a warm one or
raise the room temperature suddenly. Condensation may occur,
causing abnormal operation.
• Make sure to remove the disc before moving the drive. The disc may
become damaged, causing data loss.
• Be careful to prevent foreign objects, such as liquids or metal, from
entering the drive. In case a foreign object enters the drive, please
consult the dealer where the drive was purchased.
• Don’t interrupt the electric power while the drive is operating.
• When connecting two IDE devices to the Primary or Secondary
connectors, make sure that the two devices are not configured as
both Master, or both Slave. If they are both set the same, Windows
may fail to run or recognize the drives.
• The total length of the IDE cable should be no more than 18 inches
(about 45 cm).
