Precautions for Handling CD-ROM Discs
Keep these precautions in mind when handling CD-ROM discs.
•
Always hold the disc by the edges; avoid touching the surface of the disc.
•
Use a clean, dry, cloth to remove dust, smudges, or fingerprints. Wipe from the center outward.
•
Do not write on the surface of the disc.
•
Extremes in temperature may damage discs. Store discs in a cool dry place.
•
Do not use benzene, thinners, or cleaners with detergent. Only use CD-ROM cleaning kits.
•
Do not bend or drop the discs.
•
Do not place objects on top of discs.
Warning: Do not insert any foreign objects
into the disc tray. Do not force the tray to
open or close manually. When not in use, keep
the tray closed to prevent dust or dirt from
entering the drive unit. If you experience
difficulty when removing a CD disc, stretch a
paper clip (or use a pin or a thin metal rod)
and insert it into the emergency eject hole
located on the front panel:
The CD disk tray should eject immediately. This procedure can also be used to remove a
CD from the drive when the notebook is powered off.
