Using CD
Compact disc (CD) is a storage medium with which you can read data, play music,
install and run programs, etc. The CD-ROM drive is available in the right-side bay
of your notebook.
Handling CDs
•
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side. Data is
read from the non-label side. Do not mark this surface.
•
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat and excessive moisture.
•
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt or water on the CDs can
cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it
with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.
Inserting a CD
You can operate the CD-ROM drive only when the notebook is on.
1.
Make sure the CD-ROM drive indicator does not light on (it is supposed to
blink periodically).
2. Press the eject button to open the CD tray slightly.
3. Gently pull out the tray.
