■
Do not operate your optical drive unless your Life-
Book notebook is sitting on a flat surface. Using a
drive when the system is not level may damage the
drive or prevent proper operation.
■
Prolonged use of the optical drive, such as watching
a DVD movie, will substantially reduce your battery
life if no other power source is attached.
