Learning the Basics
Using a compact disc drive
1 Press the eject button on the drive.
CAUTION: Do not press the eject button while the in-use
indicator light is glowing. Doing so could damage the disc
or the drive.
Also, if the disc is still spinning when you open the disc tray,
wait for it to stop spinning before you remove it.
2 Pull the tray until it is fully open, remove the disc, and place it
in its protective cover.
3 Gently push the tray in to close it.
To remove a compact disc with the computer turned off:
1 Insert a slender object, such as a straightened paper clip, into
the manual eject hole.
2 Gently pull the tray out until it is fully open, remove the disc,
and place it in its protective cover.
3 Gently push the tray in to close it.
Caring for CDs and DVDs
❖ Store your discs in their original containers to protect them
from scratches and keep them clean.
❖ Do not bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it.
❖ Do not apply a label to, or otherwise mar the surface of a disc.
❖ Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the surface
can prevent the DVD-ROM drive from reading the data
properly.
❖ Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or cold.
❖ To clean a disc that is dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. The
most efficient method to clean it is to start from the center of
the disc and wipe toward the outward edge (not in a circle). If
