Don’ts:
· Do not connect or disconnect any
USB device while the EZDVD+RW
is transferring information – data
loss will result! To prevent any data
loss, stop the EZDVD+RW before
disconnecting the interface cable from
the computer or EZDVD+RW.
· Do not use any USB cables with
your EZDVD+RW other than
Amacom® cables. Never use a
USB extension cable with your USB
EZDVD+RW - data loss may result!
Do not connect more than two USB devices to a single computer. (More than two USB devices will
significantly reduce performance).
NOTE: If the amber activity light is blinking, the EZDVD+RW is transferring data. Wait to connect or
disconnect any other USB device until the activity light stops blinking.
