To prevent writing to the diskette, slide the switch so the write-protect
window is open.

Using a CD-ROM drive

Some models have a preinstalled CD-ROM drive. CD-ROM drives can play
back or read from a CD but cannot write information to it. CD-ROM drives
use industry standard, 12 cm (4.75-inch) CDs.
Follow these guidelines when using a CD-ROM drive:
Do not place the drive where there is:
– High temperature
– High humidity
– Excessive dust
– Excessive vibration or sudden shock
– An inclined surface
– Direct sunlight
Do not insert any object other than a CD into the drive.
Before moving the computer, remove the CD from the drive.

Handling a CD

When handling a CD, follow these guidelines:
Hold the CD by its edges. Do not touch the surface of the side that is
not labeled.
To remove dust or fingerprints, wipe the CD with a clean, soft cloth
from the center to the outside. Wiping the CD in a circular direction
might cause loss of data.
Do not write or stick paper on the CD.
Do not scratch or mark the CD.
Do not place or store the CD in direct sunlight.
Do not use benzene, thinners, or other cleaners to clean the disk.
Do not drop or bend the CD.
