10. The Optical Drive
10.1. Inserting a Disc
Unlike optical drives on a desktop PC, the Notebook uses a mount to hold the disc.
When inserting the disc ensure that it is pressed into the mount correctly and that
it clicks into position there.
PLEASE NOTE!
Do not stick protective film or other adhesive labels to the disc. To pre-
vent damage to your drive, do not use any deformed or damaged discs.
CAUTION!
Do not use scratched, broken, dirty or poor quality discs. The
high speeds in the drive can cause these to break destroying
your data and damaging your device. Inspect discs careful-
ly before inserting them. If damage or dirt is visible, do not use
the disc. Damage caused by faulty media is not covered under
warranty and repairs will be chargeable.
Incorrectly positioning the disc in the mount can cause it to be
damaged when closing the drive drawer.
` With the device switched on, press the eject button on the optical drive to open
the drawer.
` Carefully pull the drawer out fully.
` Remove the disc from its case, where possible without touching the unprinted
side.
` Insert the disc into the drawer with the label up and carefully press it down. The
disc now lies flat in the drawer and audibly clicks onto the disc mount.
` Check that the disc can turn freely and then carefully slide the drawer back into
the optical drive until it clicks into place.
On delivery, your optical drive is assigned the drive letter “E”. You can easily ac-
cess the data on your discs using Windows Explorer (Computer). Run Windows
Explorer using the shortcut on the taskbar or by simultaneously pressing the
Windows key and the “E” key. When accessing DVD videos (or audio and video
files on conventional data CDs), the preinstalled media player is used automati-
cally.
` If you wish to remove a disc, press the eject button.
