Using compact discs |
Use the eject button to release the disc tray. This button requires power to operate.
CAUTION: Never press the eject button or turn off the computer while the diskette/DVD light is glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or the drive.
Be careful not to touch the lens or the area around it. Doing so could cause the drive to malfunction.
The manual eject hole provides access to the manual eject button, allowing you to manually open the disc tray when power to the computer and the drive is off.
To open the disc tray manually, insert a straightened paper clip or other narrow object through the manual eject button’s access hole.
CAUTION: Never use a pencil to press the eject button.
Pencil lead can break off inside the computer and damage it.
