The power supply selection switch has two settings:

1.Set the power supply selection switch (see page 7) to “Batt./DC” to power the drive via the integrated battery pack or the AC adapter. If the AC adapter is connected, it will supply power to the drive. If the AC adapter is not con- nected and the battery pack is charged, the battery pack will supply power to the drive.

2.Set the power supply selection switch to “PC” to power the drive via the PCMCIA cable. (This switch setting position is not available on the PortaCD-RW USB version)
