Installing the Drive:
Use the following steps to connect and install the software for the CD-ROM drive. Refer to the illustrations on page 2-2 of the top and bottom of the drive to identify the drive external connectors and controls.
Step 1. Connecting the Drive Power:
Select a power source option to operate the CD-ROM drive:
- AC adapter connected to a power outlet
- Ni-Cd battery pack
- Six AA alkaline batteries
This step also includes Ni-Cd battery pack recharging instructions.
Using an AC Adapter:
Follow these steps to use the AC Adapter to connect the CD-ROM Drive to a power outlet. [Note: Do not use a substitute for the AC Adapter provided with the option package since it might damage the CD-ROM drive].
1. Verify that the CD-ROM drive is off by observing a blank operator display panel (1) or by moving the power switch (19) to the OFF position.
2. Connect the AC adapter to the AC adapter jack (14). The AC adapter and the adapter jack are colored yellow.
3. Connect the AC adapter power cord to the AC adapter.
4. Connect the AC adapter power cord to a power outlet.
5. Turn on the CD-ROM drive by moving the power switch (19) to the ON position. On the operator display panel, the following indicator appears: Z.
Using a NiCd Battery Pack:
Follow these steps to use the NiCd battery pack to power the CD-ROM drive.
1. Open the battery cover (2) by inserting an object such as a ballpoint pen in one of the two slits in the rear of the CD-ROM drive just below the battery cover.
2. Lift the battery cover up.
3. Leave the battery removal ribbon lying on the bottom of the case with the end extended outside the battery case.
4. Position the battery pack with the three metal electrodes (negative polarity) facing the three springs at the one end of the battery case. Then insert the NiCd battery pack into the battery case. The battery pack shape makes it fit only one way.
5. Fold the battery removal ribbon over the battery pack.
6. Close the battery cover (2).
7. Turn on the CD-ROM drive by moving the power switch (19) to the ON position. On the operator display panel, the following indicators appear:
Charging the NiCd Battery Pack:
You can only charge the NiCd battery pack when it is in the CD-ROM drive. Follow these steps to charge the battery pack:
1. Verify that the provided NiCd battery pack is in the CD-Rom drive.
2. Turn off the power to the CD-ROM drive using the power switch (19).
3. Connect the AC adapter power cord to a power outlet.
4. Press the button >|| to start the charging process. (You cannot use this button to stop the charging process).
Do not stop the charging process once you start it. Stopping the charging process before it completes shortens the life of the NiCd battery pack. Charging takes about five hours. The charging indicator disappears when the battery is charged. If the life of the battery becomes very short, use up the remaining life to drain the battery, then charge the battery. If no improvement is noticed, the NiCd battery pack might be at the end of its useful life. Replace the battery pack. You can obtain a replacement NiCd battery pack, see "Separately Available Products" on page 2-5.
