This is the period during which the Dock is serviceable either by adjustment or
replacement of defective parts. In the case of the mechanical parts, replacements
must be expected as soon as the lifetime is approached. This will depend on the
actual usage of the Dock. This is not the product warranty period.

The eject button is used to initiate normal cartridge eject functions. It is also used
to initiate an unconditional eject or service menu options as described below.
Normal ejects
Press the Eject Button to eject the RDX Cartridge. An Eject cycle may also be
initiated by an eject command from the host. If the cartridge does not eject, make
sure all write operations to the RDX system are complete before proceeding.
NOTE: The time from Eject Button press until the cartridge is ejected may vary. Eject
may be prevented by the host OS or Host Software. Refer to the RDX SCSI
specification for more detail.
