DVD-ROM & CD-R/RW Drive
NOTE
z Connect the AC adaptor if writing operation takes a long time. If the battery level becomes low and the power is not sup-
plied, writing operation may not be completed.
z You need to use writing software to write to discs. (“B’s Recorder” and “B’s CLiP” Î page 28)
Ensure the disc is compatible with the selected writing speed.
z The quality of written data depends on the disc.
Drive handling care
z Do not expose the drive to excessive smoke that may leave a residue, e.g., oil smoke, or tobacco smoke. Doing so can
shorten the life of the drive lens.
z We recommend cleaning the drive lens with an air puffer used for camera lenses.
(Do not use any spray-type of lens cleaning products.)
When opening/closing the tray
z When the computer is on, use the eject button (Î page 25) or eject through Windows.
z When is displayed on the notification area, right-click and click [Eject] to eject a disc.
Eject discs only as described above.
z When inserting or removing a disc, be careful not to touch the lens of the drive.
z Do not leave the tray open and do not touch the lens.
The lens and disc can become dusty in some conditions. It may cause malfunction in reading or writing.
z Do not apply excessive force to the tray in the open position.
z Never insert a foreign object such as a paper clip into the drive.
Doing so may cause malfunction.
z Do not place items other than discs on the tray.
z Do not access the drive until after the tray is closed and the multimedia pocket device indicator is off.
While the drive is being accessed
z Do not open the drive or move the computer while the drive is being accessed.
Doing so could cause the disc to shift position and this may damage the disc, or cause the drive to malfunction.
In addition, after running an application involving access to a disc, close the application before opening the drive.
