POWER SAVING
The CD TRAVELER may operate with an AC adapter or batteries. Use
of the supplied AC Adapter will provide the power for use as a portable
CD player, or to extend the computer’s battery life.
The CD TRAVELER drive will automatically enter the sleep mode
(spindle off) when it has not been accessed for about 5 minutes. Also,
you can manually get to the sleep mode by removing the Compact Disc
(CD) from your CD-ROM drive. The operating current will then be
reduced to 120 mA.
The “Hot insert/remove” feature of a PCMCIA card helps to save power.
If PCMCIA software that is Exchangeable Card Architecture (ExCA)
compliant has been loaded on to your computer, then you can remove
the CD TRAVELER after the system has been booted, and insert it again
when you need to use the CD-ROM device. For notebook computer
users, removing the card will preserve power and prolong battery life.
NOTICE
It is acceptable to remove and insert the CD TRAVELER from your
computer at any time, however, DO NOT disconnect the PCMCIA card
from your CD-ROM drive.
