spinning. If this happens, wait until the disc
stops spinning before removing it from the
console.
Push the Disc Release Button and remove the

Game Disc from the console (Illustration 2). Do

it by the edges. Do not touch the bottom,
unprinted surface of the disc. When the disc
is not in the console, always store it in
its case.
If a disc becomes dirty or contaminated with
fingerprints, the system may not be able to read
the game data correctly. If necessary, clean the
disc with a soft, slightly damp cloth (use water
only). Clean the disc from center towards the
edges; do not use a circular motion.

disconnect the AC Adapter from the wall outlet.
