Precautions for Handling CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Discs
Keep these precautions in mind when handling CD-ROM/DVD-ROM discs.
• Always hold the disc by the edges; avoid touching the surface of the disc.
• Use a clean, dry, cloth to remove dust, smudges, or fingerprints. Wipe from the center outward.
• Do not write on the surface of the disc.
• Extremes in temperature may damage discs. Store discs in a cool dry place.
• Do not use benzene, thinners, or cleaners with detergent. Only use CD-ROM/DVD-ROM cleaning kits.
• Do not bend or drop the discs.
• Do not place objects on top of discs.
CAUTION Do not insert any foreign objects into the disc tray. Do not force the tray to open or close manually.
When not in use, keep the tray closed to prevent dust or dirt from entering the drive unit. If you experience difficulty
when removing a CD/DVD disc, stretch a paper clip (or use a pin or a thin metal rod) and insert it into the emergency
eject hole located on the front panel.
The CD/DVD disk tray should eject immediately. This procedure can also be used to remove a CD/DVD from the
drive when the GoBook is powered off.
