WARNING To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. [. . . ] A failure is any malfunction of the drive that prevents usage, including failure to power up, load or unload a CD, and read or write data. Faults are not considered failures when they relate to incompatible software or discs, or from mishandling and/or abuse. Reliability ratings are derived from a large statistical sample, and are not indicative of the performance of a single unit. 7 Chapter 2 Controls and Indicators This chapter shows the connectors, controls, and indicator lights of the 1600L i. LINK drive. For instructions on connecting and installing the drive to the computer, please consult "Chapter 3, Connecting to a Macintosh" located on page 16, or "Chapter 4, Connecting to a PC" located on page 20.

LINK drive. · When the Busy Indicator light is on full amber, it means the drive is seeking, playing audio, or reading. · When the Busy Indicator light is flashing amber, it means the drive is recording a disc, or erasing a CD-RW disc. Insert/Eject Button Pressing on the eject button when the power is on will eject the CD tray. Depending on the software being used with the 1600L i. LINK drive, this button may not appear operational. Some of the software provided with the 1600L i. LINK drive will lock the tray in during certain processes, so that the eject button will not eject the tray, for example, during a write operation. 8 CD Tray The tray slides out of the unit. Place the media label side up with the reading and writing side down. CAUTION Putting anything other than CD, CD-R or CD-RW media may damage the unit and void your warranty. i. LINK 12X8X32X POWER ReWritable Emergency Eject Hole In the event that a CD cannot be ejected with the Eject Button and no software is controlling the drive , an emergency eject operation will eject the CD tray. Insert a small metal poker, such as an unbent paperclip into the opening, until it presses against the manual eject mechanism. You will feel the mechanism eject the CD tray. Use this method only when the other method of ejecting a CD, the Eject Button, is not working. High Speed High Speed i. LINK ReWritable 12X8X32X POWER Continued 9 Headphone Jack/Volume Control To listen to an audio CD from the CD-ROM unit you may insert a standard headphone cable into the headphone jack on the front of the unit. Most CD-ROM playing software packages have a utility that will allow you to listen to audio CDs directly from the 1600L i. LINK drive. The software functions like a stereo CD player, letting you choose tracks to play. However, with some software, the sound does not go through the computer but instead plays directly from the headphone jack. The volume control next to the headphone jack controls the volume. To play from the G4, Blue and White G3, or PC speaker, see the RCA Style Line Out Connectors information below. Rear Panel i. LINK Interface Connectors S400 S400 AC Power Inlet RCA Style Audio Outputs i. LINK Interface Connectors See the discussion of the i. LINK connections on page 11. RCA Style Line Out Connectors These connectors provide two channel, analog line level audio output which may be connected to audio equipment such as pre-amps, receivers, speakers and to the audio input on a G4, Blue and White G3, or PC. 10 AC Power Inlet The 1600L i. LINK drive uses a 100 to 240V, 50-60 Hz, 1. 2 amp maximum power supply. This will allow the unit to be attached to either 110 volt or 220 volt circuits. IEEE 1394 Cable and Connectors IEEE 1394 is commonly called either i. LINK or FireWire. Each uses a different symbol, though FireWire and i. LINK are compatible. i. LINK FireWire The cable ends are identical, so there is no worry about putting the right connector into an i. LINK port. 6-pin i. LINK connector Continued 11 Chaining Multiple i. LINK devices Most devices have two connectors so you can chain devices link to link up to 17 devices serially. However, some devices have three ports so you can also branch devices. G3 ReWritable i. LINK If a device has three i. LINK connectors branching may also be done. While 63 devices may be connected the limitation is still that only sixteen cables can be between any two devices (for counting purposes, these connectors are called "hops").

Likewise the digital video camera marked B is 4 hops from the digital monitor (H). [. . . ] Lead in Session information written at the beginning of a session.
