Loading Media
To load a disc into your optical drive, follow these steps:
1 Push and release the eject button on the front of the optical drive to open the holder tray. The tray will come out
of the notebook a short distance.
2 Gently pull the tray out until a media disc can easily be placed in the tray.
3 Place the media into the tray, label side up, with the hole in the center of the disc. Snap the disc onto the raised
circle in the center of the tray.
4 Gently push the holder tray back in until you hear a click. (Figure 31)

• DO NOT OPERATE YOUR OPTICAL DRIVE UNLESS YOUR LIFEBOOK NOTEBOOK IS SITTING ON A FLAT SURFACE.
USING A DRIVE WHEN THE SYSTEM IS NOT LEVEL MAY DAMAGE THE DRIVE OR PREVENT PROPER OPERATION.
• PROLONGED USE OF THE OPTICAL DRIVE, SUCH AS WATCHING A DVD MOVIE, WILL SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE
YOUR BATTERY LIFE IF NO EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE IS ATTACHED.
IF YOU HAVE DISABLED THE AUTOPLAY NOTIFICATION FUNCTION, YOU WILL HAVE TO START THE DRIVE
FROM YOUR DESKTOP, SINCE YOUR NOTEBOOK WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY RECOGNIZE THAT MEDIA
HAS BEEN LOADED.
