Hot Swapping

You can connect and disconnect the Targus drive while the computer is running. When
connecting the Targus drive, first connect the Type A connectors of the Y-cable and then
connect the Type B.

When disconnecting, remove the Type B connector from the drive first.

Playing Audio CDs

To play audio CDs, use the Windows Media

Player included in your computer’s operating

system.

The Targus drive supports digital audio extraction (DAE) for audio CD playback. This allows
you to listen to audio CDs via your computer’s built-in audio system without connecting
external devices, such as headphones or speakers. To use this method, the digital audio
feature in Windows Media Player must be enabled.

You can also listen to audio CDs by connecting headphones or external speakers to the
audio out jack on the Targus drive. However, you must disable the digital audio feature in
Windows Media Player, otherwise you will continue to hear audio through your computer.

To enable or disable the digital audio feature, refer to the Windows

®

operating system

manual that came with your computer or select the Help option in Windows Media Player.
