Caution
Do not eject a PD cartridge, or turn off the computer, while the drive’s
activity indicator is flashing. Your data may not be saved properly, or
your data may be corrupted.
To eject the drawer manually (for example, during a power failure)
you must ensure that the computer is turned off. Then insert a thin
metal rod (such as a unwound paper clip) into the emergency eject
hole and push hard.
Write-protecting a PD cartridge
A PD cartridge can be write-protected by sliding the red switch on
the cartridge to the locked position (marked with a closed padlock
symbol) as shown below.
Cleaning the PD/CD drive
You should regularly use a specialist CD cleaning disk to clean the
lens in the drive as it may become dusty and fail to operate.
Caution
Do not use any other instrument to clean the optical lens as you may
damage the drive.
