recordable DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, or CD-R/RW discs.

write data onto recordable CD-R or CD-RW discs.
Loading Media on Your Drive
To load a disc into your optical drive:
1 Push and release the eject button on the front of the optical drive to open the holder tray. The tray will come out
of the LifeBook notebook a short distance.
2 Gently pull the tray out until a media disc can easily be placed in the tray.
3 Place the media into the tray, label side up, with the hole in the center of the disc. Snap the disc onto the raised
circle in the center of the tray.
4 Gently push the holder tray back in until you hear a click. (Figure 16)
• DO NOT OPERATE YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE UNLESS YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK IS SITTING ON A FLAT
SURFACE. USING A DRIVE WHEN THE SYSTEM IS NOT LEVEL MAY DAMAGE THE DRIVE OR PREVENT
PROPER OPERATION.
• PROLONGED USE OF THE OPTICAL DRIVE, SUCH AS WATCHING A DVD MOVIE, WILL SUBSTANTIALLY
REDUCE YOUR BATTERY LIFE IF NO EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE IS ATTACHED.
• IF YOU HAVE DISABLED THE AUTO INSERT NOTIFICATION FUNCTION (VIA THE AUTOPLAY UTILITY IN THE
C
ONTROL PANEL), YOU WILL HAVE TO START THE DRIVE FROM YOUR DESKTOP, SINCE YOUR
NOTEBOOK WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY RECOGNIZE THAT MEDIA HAS BEEN LOADED.
• YOU SHOULD PERIODICALLY CHECK THE FUJITSU WEBSITE AT US.FUJITSU.COM/COMPUTERS FOR THE
MOST CURRENT DRIVERS.
