To insert and eject a Zip disk

Always turn on power to the OmniBook before inserting a Zip disk. When you
insert a Zip disk, the green busy light will flash momentarily and go out. (If the
light continues to blink slowly, push the disk eject button to eject the Zip disk,
then insert it again.) Do not insert or remove a Zip disk while the OmniBook is
actively reading data. Otherwise, the OmniBook could stop responding and you
could lose data.
To insert the Zip disk, hold the disk with its face up and then gently insert it into
the Zip drive.
To remove the Zip disk, gently press the eject button on the front of the Zip disk
drive. Do not use force. The green busy light blinks as the disk spins down. The
drive takes a few seconds to eject the disk.
The Zip drive automatically ejects the disk when you shut down your
OmniBook. Store all your Zip disks in the protective case when not in use.

To eject a Zip disk manually

The OmniBook must be on for normal disk ejection from the Zip drive. If you need
to remove a Zip disk from the drive when power is off, carefully push a straightened
paper clip into the emergency eject hole located on the eject button.
Use the manual disk eject procedure only when OmniBook power is off. Do not
try to forcibly remove a Zip disk from the drive. If the disk does not eject
immediately, repeat the manual disk eject procedure.
