USING THIS MANUAL.

Conventions.
Safety Symbols.
DANGER: The danger notice warns you of a hazard that could cause serious personal injury to you or persons around you.
Failure to follow precautions noted by this indicator could result in serious injury or death due to fire, electrical shock or explosion.

WARNING: A warning notice denotes a hazard that could result in personal injury.

Other Symbols.
Point: This is a note, a tip, or an important point.

COPYING MUSIC AND DIGITAL SOUND.
Review these important rules prior to using the Plextalk.

About Copying.
NOTE:  The Plextalk is designed to help you record and reproduce sound works to which you own the copyright, or where you have gained permission from the copyright owner or the rightful licensor. Unless you own the copyright or have gained the appropriate permission from the rightful owner or the copyright licensor, your unauthorized recording, reproduction or distribution thereof, may result in severe civil and criminal penalties under copyright laws and international copyright treaties. If you are uncertain about your rights, contact your legal advisor. Under no circumstances will Plextor be responsible for the consequences of any illegal copying performed using the Plextalk.

Digital Sound Rules.
NOTE: This device conforms to SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) standards. This standard regulates "the recording of digital signals as in (copying) between various digital audio devices" as "up to 1 generation." It entails the following principles. 

Principles: "Commercially sold digital music software, such as CDs and MDs" and "analog records, FM broadcasts and the like made into digital recordings" can be copied, but copies cannot be made of copies. 

During digital recording, this device constantly verifies the SCMS status track by track. Tracks for which digital recording and copying are prohibited cannot be copied. 

Music CDs.
NOTE: Copies of music CDs are for individual enjoyment and under the Copyright Act cannot be used otherwise without the authorization of the copyright holder. Audio (music recording) CD-R or CD-RWs contain special codes for identifying the addition of compensation money for private recording and CD-R or CD-RWs for data, with the objective of protecting music copyrights in the same manner as devices such as MDs. The Plextalk is equipped with a mechanism that checks the identification code to permit recording on audio CD-Rs alone. Audio CD-R or CD-RWs are sold by several companies. When purchasing them, it is necessary to check whether it is an audio type CD-R or RW or a data type CD-R or RW.

About Copyright Information Roles in the Plextalk.
NOTE: The Plextalk can read the copyright information in the CD or card.
And the Plextalk recognizes 4 different kinds of copyright information, which are "MASTER","COPY","DAISY", and "No copyright information".
"MASTER" means that you can copy only one time, whenever you have copied from the master, the copyright information changes from" MASTER" to "COPY" which roles give into SCMS standard.
"COPY" means that the Plextalk does not allow you to copy, but you can move from card to CD.
"DAISY" is the Plextalk's original role, you will be able to back up the DAISY title to the blank CD or PC card without limitation.
"No copyright information" means that it's your original contents or No copyright information is in media.
Points: There is copyright information in Music CD for every track. Therefore you may have mixed tracks of "MASTER" and "COPY" copyright information in one media.

FOR SAFETY.
The Plextalk has been designed with the utmost consideration for safety. Nevertheless, incorrect use can result in serious injury or death, due to fire or electrical shock. Be sure to observe the following precautions.

* For safety's sake, remove the power cord from the outlet when cleaning the Plextalk.

CD Care.
* Wipe CD-ROM discs with a clean, soft cotton cloth to remove surface dirt such as fingerprints.
* When cleaning, use a straight-line motion, wiping from the center outwards.
* Do not wipe the disc in a circular motion. Use a straight-line motion, wiping from the center out.
* Do not wipe the disc in a circular motion.

Battery Care.
* When using the Plextalk for the first time or after one month of storage, connect to the mains power source for at least 24 hours to recharge the internal clock.
* If the Plextalk is not used for over a month, remove the battery and store the battery in a cool place with low humidity.
* The battery life depends on how frequently it is used and recharged. Its capacity to store charge reduces over time.
* When the usable time following a charge becomes too short, replace the battery with a new one. The usable time may be affected by the ambient temperature and working environment.
* The battery will normally take 4 hours to fully charge. In order to maintain battery performance we recommend the following procedure every six months:
1) Fully charge the battery.
2) Use on battery power until dead.
3) Recharge for 24 hours.

Nevertheless, incorrect use can result in serious injury or death, due to fire or electrical shock.
Be sure to observe the following precautions.

4.1 Examine the Plextalk.

Examine the Plextalk once a year to see whether the power cord is damaged, whether dust has accumulated between the power cord plug and the outlet, or whether the unit is being used in a defective state. 

If operation seems abnormal, or if you perceive a strange noise, odor, or smoke issuing from the unit:
1. Turn off the power immediately.
2. Remove the Battery.
3. Contact your Plextalk dealer.

4.2 Use the Plextalk in the Right Way.
