Inserting a compact disc
To insert a compact disc into the drive:
1
Make sure the computer is turned on.
2
Make sure the drive's in-use indicator light is off.
3
Press the drive's eject button.
The disc tray slides partially out of the drive (about 1 inch).
4
Grasp the tray and pull it fully open.
5
Hold the disc by its edges and check that it is free of dust.
If the disc is dusty, clean it.
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can
break off inside the computer and damage it.
Before putting on headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn the
volume dial down. Do not set the volume too high when using the
headphones. Continuous exposure to loud sound can harm your
hearing.
HINT: The drive will not open if the computer's power is off.
