Loading the CD–ROM Drive
Press the unload button to open the tray. Place the disc in the tray with the printed
side up. Push gently on the load/unload button. The drive automatically pulls the
tray into the drive and prepares the disc for reading.
If the CD–ROM drive is in the vertical position, slip out the lower tabs to hold the disc
in place.
Unloading the CD–ROM Drive
Push and hold the unload button until the drawer comes out and then remove the
disc.
Cleaning the CD–ROM Drive
This CD–ROM drive has an internal head–cleaning mechanism, and therefore does
not require an external cleaning device. The internal cleaning mechanism cleans the
head every time the tray is closed with a disc in the tray.
Always handle discs carefully by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints or scratching
them (this helps the disc to maintain good readability.) Wipe discs with a soft,
lint–free cloth or lens tissue. Always wipe in a straight line from the inner hub to the
outer rim.
