Limitation of liability
Under no circumstances can Aiwa Co., Ltd. accept liability for incidental or
consequential damage to data recorded on tapes due to malfunctions or improper
operation of this unit.
Warning
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this unit. Doing so can result in
malfunctions or accidents.
• Do not insert your fingers or other parts of the body into the tape insertion slot.
Doing so can result in injury. Be especially careful to keep the hands of small
children away from this unit. Do not insert foreign objects into this unit. Doing so
can result in malfunctions.
• While this unit is operating, the bottom of the tape cartridge becomes hot. Be
careful not to touch it, as this can result in burns.
• The tape drive is fitted with a cooling fan to prevent the internal temperature
becoming excessive. Ensure that the unit is operated at a suitable spacing from
walls and other obstructions, so that there is a clear passage of air to the fan.
Operating the unit when the fan is obstructed can lead to malfunctions.
• Take great care when carrying the drive not to subject it to unreasonable shock.
Even if there is no external sign of damage, the internal mechanism could be
damaged.
Caution
• Before beginning the job of installing this unit, disconnect the computer and any
connected peripherals from the AC power supply. Carrying out the job while the
computer is still connected to the power supply can result in electric shock.
Before beginning the installation, read carefully the instructions with this unit, and
observe all warnings and cautions.
• Do not use this unit when it is affected by condensation: this can result in damage
to the read/write head, or jammed or broken tapes. The same problems can result
when there is condensation inside a tape cartridge. After moving a tape cartridge
from a cold to a warm place, wait for two or three hours before inserting it in this
unit.
Important Notes on Operation
5
Turning the unit on and off
After turning off the power, be sure to wait for at least 10 seconds
before turning the unit on again; otherwise the unit may malfunction
and data read/write operation may not be correctly effectuated.
Read/write head cleaning
When cleaning the read/write head, be sure to turn the unit off.
Never power on this unit when cleaning the read/write head with a lint-free cotton
swab moistened with more than 90% isopropyl alcohol, until the read/write head is
dry.
After cleaning, wait for at least 10 minutes for the read/write head to dry completely
before powering on. Failure to do so will damage the head electrically.
Cartridge retensioning
A retensioning pass (running the tape from end to end) is strongly recommended
when (a) the cartridge is first loaded into a drive, (b) the cartridge is exposed to
temperature changes of 16˚C or more, or (c) one section of tape has been used
excessively in a single operating period.
Operating conditions
To keep this unit working properly, follow these guidelines.
• Do not operate this unit in a dusty environment.
• Clean the read/write head at the recommended intervals.
(See page 18.)
• Do not leave a tape cartridge loaded when the computer system is not in use.
• Do not remove the tape cartridge when the drive is being accessed (when the
ACCESS indicator is lit steadily or blinks).
• Keep tape cartridges away from magnetic fields, sunlight, extreme humidity and
extreme temperatures.
• Store tape cartridges in their protective cases.
• Do not use this unit where it may be subject to vibration or shock.

Maximum length of the interface cable
The total length of the interface cable from the computer to the tape drive and from
the tape drive to the printer should not be more than 10 feet (3 meters).
It is not possible to use the printer and tape drive at the same
time.
If you attempt to print while using the tape drive, the tape drive will give an error and
stop operating, and the printed results cannot be guaranteed. The effect of
attempting to use the tape drive during printing is similar.
When turning on the computer
Be sure to turn on the tape drive first before turning on the computer; otherwise the
computer cannot control the tape drive and a printer or any other device connected
to the tape drive.
If the monitor screen was distorted
The PC monitor screen might be distorted if you put this tape drive near the monitor.
In this case, set this tape drive more than 5 inches (12.7cm) away from the monitor.
Important Notes on Operation

This tape drive is designed as a backup device for installation into an IBM-PC or an
IBM-compatible PC.
This unit can be connected to any computer, desktop or laptop, equipped with a 25-
pin printer connector. A printer or another parallel port device can be connected in
a daisy chain from the tape drive. (The printer or the device operates only when the
tape drive is powered on.)
This unit can read and write AIWA BOLT formatted data, and read QIC-3020
formatted data.
This unit can store compressed data of a maximum capacity of 10 GB with an AIWA
BOLT 10GB tape cartridge, using the backup software suppplied with this unit.
This unit can read and write data which has been compressed by software at a
compression rate of 2:1, at a maximum backup speed of 40 MB per minute,
provided that this unit is connected to the computer via the Enhanced Parallel Port
(EPP).
