### Caution when using the Windows 7 64-bit Edition

In order to use this product with the 64-bit Edition of Windows 7, please read and understand the following points. You must also take into account the compatibility of each product you will be using.

- In order to use the 64-bit Edition of Windows 7, you must use 64-bit drivers; not only for this product, but also for all hardware you're using with your computer.
- This driver has been tested on several computer systems, but please understand that we cannot guarantee it will operate on your particular computer.

### Cautions and Limitations

- Sound interruption or other less-than-perfect outcomes may be experienced if your computer's performance and specifications are somewhat inadequate. The types of applications you use and the way in which you use them can also influence the experience you receive.
- On some computers, the driver does not load correctly if the FANTOM-X is already connected when Windows is started up. As a result, it will not be possible to use the FANTOM-X via USB. If this occurs, wait until after Windows has started to turn on the power of the FANTOM-X (or to connect it).
- If the FANTOM-X does not work correctly after resuming from Sleep mode, you should exit all applications that use the FANTOM-X, and then turn the power of the FANTOM-X off and on again.
- If the USB cable is disconnected and reconnected while the FANTOM-X is in use, or if the power of the FANTOM-X is turned off, then on again, it may stop operating correctly. If this occurs, after resuming, you should exit all applications that use the FANTOM-X, and turn the power of the FANTOM-X off, then on again.
- If your computer was experiencing a heavy processing load, such as when accessing a CD-ROM Drive or network while the FANTOM-X was being used, the FANTOM-X may no longer operate correctly. If this occurs, stop the playback or recording, then try starting playback or recording over again. If you are still unable to play back or record, quit all programs that are using the FANTOM-X, then turn the FANTOM-X off and then on again.
