Using the CD/DVD Drive (option)

Depending on the model, your computer comes with a CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive module. This drive is usually configured as drive D and is connected to the expansion port located on the right side of the Tablet PC.

The drive uses removable 5.25-inch silver CD-ROM discs, which look like standard music CDs. It is an ideal medium to use for distributing multimedia because of the huge amount of data that a disc can store.

ACD-ROM drive can read CD-ROMs, audio CDs, and CD-R disk. A DVD-ROM drive can read DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) discs in addition to the above discs.

NOTE: If the DVD-ROM drive will be operating for more than half an hour (such as showing a DVD title), use the AC or car power source instead of the battery. If not, the battery may run out of power before the operation is complete.

CAUTION:

1.When inserting a CD, do not use force.

2.Make sure the CD is correctly inserted into the tray, and then close the tray.

3.Do not leave the CD tray open. Also, avoid touching the lens in the tray with your hand. If the lens becomes dirty, the CD-ROM may malfunction.

4.Do not wipe the lens using materials with rough surface (such as paper towel). Instead, use a cotton swab to gently wipe the lens.

FDA regulations require the following statement for all laser-based devices:

“Caution, Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.”

Connecting the CD/DVD Drive

Insert the expansion plug of CD/DVD drive into the expansion port located on the right side of the Tablet PC.
