WARNING: Only drives (such as the HLDS GCC-4240N) bearing the logo "Compact Disc ReWritable High Speed" can write or erase High-Speed CD-RW media.  High Speed CD-RW Media may be recognized by the same "Compact Disc ReWritable High Speed" logo on the disc label or packaging material, or by the fact that it lists recording speeds of "4X to 10X," or, "Up to 10X."  Writing and erasing to High Speed CD-RW media include but is not limited to the following user operations:  1) File drag and drop to High Speed CD-RW media via Adaptec DirectCD.  2) File copy to High Speed CD-RW media via Adaptec DirectCD.  3) Any other file/data transfer to High Speed CD-RW media via Adaptec DirectCD.  Attempted writes to High Speed CD-RW media using CD-RW drives NOT bearing the logo "Compact Disc ReWritable High Speed" may result in data loss.

Installation

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 position.

Operation

• 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 be damaged, causing data loss.
• Be careful to prevent foreign objects, such as liquids or metal, from entering the drive.
• Don't interrupt the electric power while the drive is operating.

Please read all restrictions and disclaimers.
