When removing the cartridge, wait until the soft-eject function has terminated its
operation. Then pull the cartridge straight out.
When inserting and removing the cartridge, to prevent damage:
•
DO NOT use excessive force.
•
BE SURE to insert the cartridge in correct orientation. Note that the
cartridge has a beveled corner to prevent insertion upside-down.
Unconditional Eject
If the cartridge does not eject with a normal eject cycle it may be in the PREVENT
state described in the cartridge LED state table below. This can be overridden
using an unconditional eject. To initiate an unconditional eject by the RDX Dock
press and hold the eject button until the eject cycle begins (approximately 5
seconds, varies with OEM firmware versions).
Emergency Eject
If the cartridge still will not eject after trying the steps above, use the following
emergency methods to recover the cartridge:
•
Insert the RDX Emergency Media Eject Pin into the Emergency Eject Hole
to eject the cartridge.

NOTE: If the RDX Emergency Media Eject Pin is not available, a stiff paper clip, wire, or
pin may be used instead.
Service Mode
The Service Mode is activated from the Eject Button. In order to activate the RDX
service menu the cartridge needs to be ejected.
The RDX service menu can be entered by keeping the Eject button pressed for
more than five (5) seconds when the cartridge is ejected.
When RDX service is entered, the menu entry will be indicated by a series of green
LED blinks between a pair of amber LED blinks of the Eject Button/ Power LED.
The number of Green LED blinks indicates the menu entry number.
If the user presses the eject button once, the display of the current menu entry
indication is aborted and the start of the next menu entry item will be displayed.
If the user presses the eject button twice during one second (double-click) the
requested menu function is started. The start of the menu item is indicated by the
Eject Button/ Power LED flashing green rapidly for five (5) seconds.
The service menu exits when a menu entry is selected, if no button activates are
detected for 60 seconds, or if the Eject button is pressed for more than five (5)
seconds.
The implemented menu entry functions are:
•
Entry 1
- Set Removable Disk mode.
•
Entry 7
- Reset the RDX Dock.
