Handling CD/DVDs

Observe the following when handling CD/DVDs:

● Avoid touching the surface of a CD/DVD. Handle CDs/DVDs only by their edges!

● Always store CDs/DVDs in their cases. Thus you avoid dust contamination, scratches, bending or other damage.

● Protect your CDs/DVDs from dust, mechanical vibration and direct sunlight! ● Avoid storing a CD/DVD in areas subject to high temperatures or humidity.

You may use both 8-cm and 12-cm CDs/DVDs in the combo drive.

When using CDs/DVDs of poor quality vibrations and reading errors may occur.

CD/DVD indicator

The CD/DVD indicator flashes when a CD/DVD is inserted. The indicator goes out when the drive is ready for reading. The indicator lights up when the drive is being accessed. You may only remove the CD/DVD when the indicator is dark.

i

If the CD/DVD indicator

does not go out after inserting a CD/DVD, but instead

continues to flash, the drive cannot access the data carrier.

Either the CD/DVD is damaged or dirty or you are using a data carrier that the drive cannot read.
