Learning the Basics
Using compact discs
HINT: The computer must be on to use the eject button to
open the disc tray. To remove a disc when the power is off
(for example, if the main battery is completely discharged),
use a slender object, such as a straightened paper clip, to
press the manual eject button. You access this button
through the small hole to the right of the eject button.
2 Grasp the sides of the disc tray and pull it fully open.
3 Remove the disc from the disc tray and place it in its
protective cover.
CAUTION: If the disc is spinning when you open the disc
tray, wait for the disc to stop before you remove it.
4 Close the disc tray by pressing gently on the center of the tray
until it clicks — indicating that it is locked.
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
tray.
