To insert or eject a Zip disk

Caution
Do not insert or remove a Zip disk while the OmniBook is actively reading or
writing data. Wait until the Zip drive is done. Otherwise, you could lose data or
the OmniBook could stop responding.
Always turn on power to the OmniBook before inserting a Zip disk.
To insert the Zip disk, hold the disk with its face up, then gently insert it into the
Zip drive.
To remove the Zip disk, gently press the eject button on the front of the Zip
drive. Do not use force. It takes a few seconds to eject the disk and the green
busy light blinks during this process.
The Zip drive automatically ejects the disk when you shut down your OmniBook.
Store all Zip disks in the protective case when not in use.
If the Zip drive has no power and you need to remove a disk from it, carefully push a
straightened paper clip into the emergency eject hole located on the eject button.
Caution
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.
