Precautionary Measures and General Notes
• After transport, particularly at low outside temperatures, condensation can
form which can lead to malfunctioning. For that reason, you should not
begin operation until the drive and CDs have reached room temperature.
••
••
• Operate the Freecom drive only in a horizontal position, to prevent damage
to the media or the mechanical parts.
• Operate the device only at temperatures ranging from 10 - 45 °C.
• Do not use the device in a dusty and humid environment.
• Protect the drive from shocks and other mechanical effects!
••
••
• The device should not be operated in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic
radiation sources (loudspeakers, mobile telephones etc.).
• Due to the high data transfer rates, the cable length should not exceed 1 m.
Error-free transmission cannot be guaranteed for longer cables.
• The Classic CD-RW is USB-2 compliant. While USB-2 supports recording
speeds higher than 4x, if this drive is connected to a USB 1.1 port the
maximum recording speed is 4x. Your recording software may allow you to
select a higher recording speed but doing so may result in buffer-underrun
errors. To avoid this, we recommend that the recording speed is set to 4x
when the drive is connected to a USB 1.1 interface.

2.3 Allocation of the drive letter to the Freecom drive under
Windows 98 and Windows ME
After successful installation, Windows assigns the Freecom drive a new drive
letter automatically in most cases. This can shift the drive letter of an already
present drive (for example, from 'D' to 'E'). If this leads to problems, it is possible
to change the drive letter assignment as follows.
1. Click "Start" - "Settings" - "Control Panel".
2. Click "System".
3. Select "Device Manager" and click on "Drives" or "CD-ROM".
4. Click the Freecom drive, and then "Properties" - "Settings". (The currently
assigned drive letter as well as the reserved drive letters will then be
displayed).
5. Under Reserved Drive Letter, enter a drive letter, for example, 'F' for the
Freecom device as the "Start drive letter" and "F" again as the "Last drive
letter".
6. Confirm your entry with "OK". When you restart your computer, the
Freecom drive will be assigned the letter "F" in "My Computer".
