Never clean the Freecom Mobile DVD RW Recorder with a commercially available CD or a CD-ROM cleaning set. Recordable and Rewritable CD/DVDs (blanks) are more sensitive than commercially available CD/DVDs. Use only a solvent-free, non-abrasive marker when writing on a CD/DVD. Do not stick any conventional labels on the CD-Rs/CD-RWs, since the adhesive can attack the medium. Special labels for CD-R/CD-RW media are available in retail computer stores. [. . . ] Check whether cable is plugged in correctly. Determine if the media can be ejected and if the device is getting power when the system boots.
