When the CD-ROM is set to On, the status light indicates one of several conditions.

v Off during standby with the tray loaded or unloaded
v Blinks from insertion of the tray to completion of initialization
v Blinks slowly when disc is dusty

Loading the CD-ROM Drive
Press the unload button to open the tray. Place the disc, with the printed side away
from the tray, into the tray. If the CD-ROM drive is mounted vertically, slip out the
bottom tabs that hold the disc in place. Push gently on the load/unload button. The
drive automatically pulls the tray into the drive and prepares the disc for reading.
Unloading the CD-ROM Drive
Push and hold the unload button until the drawer comes out, and then remove the disc.
Cleaning the CD-ROM Drive
This CD-ROM drive has an internal head-cleaning mechanism, and therefore does not
require an external cleaning device. The internal cleaning mechanism cleans the head
every time the tray is operated.
Always handle discs carefully by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints or scratching
the disc. This helps the disc to maintain good readability. Discs can be wiped with a
soft, lint-free cloth or lens tissue. Always wipe in a straight line from the inner hub to the
outer rim.
