Using CD-ROM Discs

and Caddies

YOUR TASK:

Learn how to use a caddy and how to handle and
care for your discs.

YOUR OBJECTIVE:

Protect your discs. Insert and eject caddies properly
so your drive operates without interuption.

YOUR METHOD:

Practice loading discs into caddies, and caddies
into drives.

Plextor’s CD-ROM drives use an industry-standard disc caddy to protect the disc from
scratches and contamination. A standard caddy is made of plastic and has a metal
shutter on its bottom which slides open and shut. Use of a non-standard caddy (e.g.,
one which lacks a metal shutter on its bottom) is not recommended. For their protection,
CD-ROM discs should be stored in their original packaging or in a caddy.

Inserting the Disc into a Caddy

1) To open the lid of the caddy,

press the tabs at the side 
as shown.

2) Place the disc into the caddy 

with the label facing UP. 
Be sure to place the disc 
beneath the edge of the 
caddy under the arrow mark.
Handle the disc by the sides. 
Don’t touch its surface.
