Power Sources/Battery

This section provides information on the power sources available to the PortaCD- RW, including the battery and the AC adapter.

Power Sources

The PortaCD-RW drive does not have an On/Off switch. It is ready for operation when you connect it to a computer under one of these power sources:

❑AC adapter

❑Charged integrated battery pack

❑Portable computer featuring PCMCIA card technology. (Applicable only for the PortaCD-RW PCMCIA version. The USB version can operate only with the AC adapter or battery pack; it cannot be powered via the USB cable.)

Power Settings

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)

Charging the Battery Pack

You can charge the integrated battery pack by connecting the AC adapter to the drive and plugging the opposite end into an electrical outlet. (You do not need to connect the drive to the computer to charge the battery pack.)

Allow up to five hours for the initial charge time to fully charge an empty battery pack. A fully charged battery can last up to two hours.
