4 mm MTC drives Operating the 4 mm MTC drive

● The error indicator can display two different colors: amber or green. It only

displays green immediately after the system has been powered up. The

indicator is extinguished once the self-test has been passed.

If the error indicator flashes amber, the MTC drive should be cleaned without

delay, since it is no longer possible to guarantee correct operation.

If the error indicator is illuminated in amber, the MTC drive has a fault.

V You must not press the release button of the MTC drive if the data

transfer or standby indicator is illuminated or flashing. This can cause

loss of data.
