Removing a disc with the computer off
To remove a disc with the computer turned off:
1
Insert a slender object, such as a straightened paper clip, into
the manual eject hole.
The disc tray slides partially out of the drive (about 1 inch).
2
Pull the tray out until it is fully open, remove the disc, and
place it in its protective cover.
3
Gently press the tray in to close it.
Caring for optical discs
❖
Store your discs in their original containers to protect them
from scratches and keep them clean.
❖
Do not bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it.
❖
Do not apply a label to, or otherwise mar the surface of, a disc.
❖
Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the surface can
prevent the optical drive from reading the data properly.
❖
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or cold.
❖
To clean a disc that is dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth. The
most efficient method to clean it is to start from the center of
the disc and wipe toward the outward edge (not in a circle). If
necessary, moisten the cloth with water or a neutral cleaner
(not benzine or rubbing alcohol). Let the disc dry completely
before inserting it in the drive.

Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can
break off inside the computer and damage it.
