Removing a disc with the computer off
1 Insert a slender object, such as a straightened paper clip,
into the manual eject button access hole.
CAUTION: Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button.
Pencil lead can break off inside the computer and damage it.
2 Pull the tray fully open, remove the disc and place it in its
protective cover.
3 Push the tray in to close the drive.
Caring for CDs and DVDs
❖ Store your discs in their original containers to protect
them from scratches and keep them clean.
❖ Never bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it.
❖ Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the
surface of a compact disc can prevent the drive from
reading the data properly.
❖ Avoid exposing discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or
cold.
❖ To clean a disc, wipe it from the center outwards (not in a
circle) with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, moisten the
cloth with water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or
rubbing alcohol). Let the disc dry completely before
inserting it in the drive.
