USING THE PCMCIA CD-ROM WITH A COMPUTER

Make sure the AC adapter is properly connected or the batteries are
installed.

CAUTION

Connect the PCMCIA interface cable to the CD-ROM drive before
inserting the PCMCIA interface card into your computer. DO NOT
connect/disconnect the PCMCIA interface cable to/from the CD-
ROM drive while the card is inserted and the system is in power-on
state.

Once the PCMCIA card is initialized, the computer will control the power
to the PCMCIA CD-ROM drive. As a result, the POWER button at the
rear panel will not function in this mode. The drive will remain inactive
until the first command from the computer is accepted, then the drive
will begin to spin to reach its highest speed. DO NOT CHANGE THE
POWER SOURCE SWITCH WHEN THE PCMCIA CD-ROM IS
POWERED ON.
