CD/DVD Drive

CD/DVD drive handling care

zDo not expose the CD/DVD drive to excessive smoke that may leave a residue, e.g., oil smoke, or tobacco smoke. Doing
so can shorten the life of the drive lens.
zWe recommend cleaning the drive lens with an air puffer used for camera lenses.
(Do not use any spray-type of lens cleaning products.)
When opening/closing the tray
zWhen the computer is on, use the eject button (Îpage 25) or eject through Windows.
zWhen is displayed on the notification area, right-click and click [Eject] to eject a disc.
Eject discs only as described above.
zWhen inserting or removing a disc, be careful not to touch the lens of the drive.
zDo not leave the tray open and do not touch the lens.
The lens and disc can become dusty in some conditions. It may cause malfunction in reading or writing.
zDo not apply excessive force to the tray in the open position.
zNever insert a foreign object such as a paper clip into the CD/DVD drive.
Doing so may cause malfunction.
zDo not place items other than discs on the tray.
zDo not access the drive until after the tray is closed and the multimedia pocket device indicator is off.
While the CD/DVD drive is being accessed
zDo not open the CD/DVD drive or move the computer while the CD/DVD drive is being accessed.
Doing so could cause the disc to shift position and this may damage the disc, or cause the CD/DVD drive to malfunction.
In addition, after running an application involving access to a disc, close the application before opening the CD/DVD drive.
