Always make sure the power supply is connected
to the drive before inserting a Zip®
disk.
CAUTION! If
a Zip® disk
is inserted without the power supply connected,
and power is then applied, it could damage the Zip
drive. If you accidentally insert a disk when the
power supply is not connected, eject it using the
disk eject procedure,
then connect the power supply and reinsert the disk.
-
Never use ordinary 3.5" floppy diskettes or floppy
head-cleaning disks in your Zip®
drive. They will cause severe damage to the drive.
|
CAUTION! Never
put anything into your Zip®
drive except 100MB* Zip disks with the genuine
Zip symbol. Using disks that do not have this
symbol may cause damage to your drive or loss
of data.
*100MB where 1MB=1 million bytes. The
capacity reported by your operating system may vary. |

For best results, operate your Zip®
drive on a level surface when a Zip disk is inserted
and in use.
-
Always remove the Zip®
disk from the drive when you are transporting your
Zip drive.
CAUTION! Use
only an Iomega Zip®
power supply. Other power supplies might
damage your Zip drive.
-
Avoid exposing the Zip®
drive and Zip disks to dust, direct sunlight, high
temperature, moisture, or magnetic fields (such
as monitors and some speakers).

Before connecting or disconnecting your Zip®
drive, always shut down the computer and disconnect
power from the Zip drive.

If you have a printer or scanner connected to the
Zip® drive,
make sure the power supply is connected even if
you are not using the Zip drive. Power to the drive
is required for correct data pass-through.
