1. Preface
1.1 What is IEEE1394 ?
IEEE1394 is a new interface for connecting a variety of devices such as disk
drives, digital video cameras or printers, to your PC. The IEEE1394/FireWire
interface has the following features:
– Fast serial interface
– Devices are hot pluggable - You can connect or remove a device
without rebooting or reconfiguring your PC.
– No setting or switches are required.
– Up to 63 devices can be connected to one IEEE1394 bus environment
(tree).
– The power can be supplied via the IEEE1394 cable (6pin-6pin).

2.3 Installing Hardware
1) For ease of use, your DynaMO has been designed to work with
IEEE1394 cable power only without a supplemental power supply. In
certain configurations, however, it will be necessary to use the
supplemental power supply (AC adapter) with the drive. You must use
the supplemental power supply in the following configurations:
–With a laptop computer
–With multiple IEEE1394 devices at a same time
–If your IEEE1394 attachment card can not supply 9w. See your
adapter card manual for details.
2) Connect the AC adapter to your DynaMO if necessary. Check that the
Power Indicator lights up.
3) Connect the IEEE1394 cable to your DynaMO. You can attach the
IEEE1394 cable to either of the two IEEE1394 ports provided in the
rear of the DynaMO.

1.11
English
4) Connect the other end of the IEEE 1394 cable to the personal computer.
Notice:
For PC users:
You must use OHCI compliant IEEE1394 card. For
information about OHCI, refer to your IEEE1394
attachment card manual.
✍

1.12
Important:
Do not make a ring (loop) connection. If you do, an
IEEE1394 device will not normally operate. Do not
connect two or more personal computers to one
IEEE1394 device at a time.
You can use the DynaMO in an upright position. Be
sure to use the mounting attachments provides with the
DynaMO.
Notice:
Your DynaMO is equipped with Kensington lock
feature.

2.4 Precautions for Connecting and Removing the
DynaMO
Precautions for Connecting the DynaMO
•Do not disconnect the IEEE1394 cable while the Busy Indicator of the
DynaMO is on.
•If you are using your DynaMO with a laptop computer or with multiple
IEEE1394 devices, you must attach the AC adapter before use before
the IEEE1394 cable connection.
Precautions for Adding/removing IEEE1394 devices Changing
the Connection Status
•Before connecting additional IEEE1394 device to the IEEE1394 bus or
removing the device from the bus, we recommend that you close all
applications that are using the MO disk or files on the MO disk.

Busy Indicator/Eject Button

1.14
Precautions for Removing the DynaMO
•Before removing the DynaMO from the IEEE1394 bus, we recommend
that you eject the MO disk from the DynaMO.
•Never transport your DynaMO with an MO disk installed as this may
damage the drive.
•Always remove IEEE1394 cable before removing supplemental power
supply.

3. Operation
3.1 Inserting an MO Disk
Gently insert the MO disk with the label side up, as shown below, until the disk
clicks into the place.
The busy indicator will come on while the MO disk is loaded. Wait for the busy
indicator to go off before using disk. The 1.3GB MO disk takes a little longer
to become ready after disk insertion.
Important:
Never force the disk into the drive or insert MO disk
upside down as this may damage the drive.
Since a floppy disk is about the same size as your MO
disk, be careful to never insert a floppy disk into the
DynaMO.
Do not insert foreign objects into the drive.
Notice:
In case the MO disk is not inserted properly, push the
eject button and then try to reinsert the disk.

3.2 Ejecting an MO Disk
for PC users
Clicktheremovablediskiconwiththerightmousebuttonandselect"Eject"
from the pop-up menu.
If the MO disk cannot be ejected properly as described above, or appears to be
jammed in the drive, the disk can be ejected using Emergency Eject.
for Macintosh users
Same manner as ejecting floppy disk, Drag and Drop the removable disk icon
into the TRASH icon.
If the MO disk cannot be ejected properly as described above, or appears to be
jammed in the drive, the disk can be ejected using Emergency Eject.
Emergency Eject
1) Remove all power from your DynaMO.
2) Straighten one end of a large paper clip.
3) Insert the straightened end of the paper clip into the eject hole and push
gently but firmly until the MO disk is ejected.
Important:
Never use the emergency eject while your DynaMO is
on.

3.3 Write Protection
Enabling the write protection on the MO disk prevents the data from being
accidentally lost or altered.
The write protect switch located on the bottom of the MO disk. See figure
below. Move the write protect switch up for "write enable" or down for "write
protect".
3.4 Cleaning the MO Disk
From time to time, dust may build up on the surface of the disk and cleaning of
the disk may be necessary.
It is recommended to clean MO disks every three months so that you can use
your DynaMO at a stable performance for at least five years in normal office
environments. Use the officially offered MO disk cleaning kit (part number
CA90003-0702) or any MO disk cleaning kit on the market for the cleaning.
3.5 Cleaning Your Drive
The cleaning of the head may be required every three months so that you can
use the DynaMO at a stable performance for at least five years in normal office
environments.
To clean the objective lens, insert the optional head cleaner (part number
CA90002-C980). Cleaning will take place automatically, and the head cleaner
will be ejected after 15-30 seconds.
Please contact your place of purchase for information on the MO lens cleaning
kit.
