Closing the disc drawer
Removing discs
To remove the disc, follow the steps below and refer to the figure.
1. To pop the drawer partially open, press the eject button. Gently pull the
drawer out until it is fully opened.
2. The disc extends slightly over the sides of the drawer so you can hold it.
Hold the disc gently by its edges and lift it out.
Do not press the eject button while the computer is accessing the disc
drive. Wait for the optical media drive indicator to go out before you open
the drawer. Also, if the disc is spinning when you open the drawer, wait for
it to stop before you remove it.
■ When the drawer pops open slightly, wait a moment to make sure the
disc has stopped spinning before pulling the drawer fully open.
■ Turn off the power before you use the eject hole. If the disc is spinning
when you open the drawer, the disc could fly off the spindle and cause
injury.
