Eject and Emergency Eject
The eject button is electronic and is used for opening the tray. You can also eject the tray through any
software CD/DVD player or by right clicking the CD icon in Windows™ “My Computer.” The emer-
gency eject is used to eject the tray in case the electronic eject does not work. Do not use this in place
of the electronic eject.
Laser Safety
This system is classified as a Class 1 laser product. The Notebook PC’s CD/DVD-ROM drive uses a
laser reader that complies with laser product standards set by government agencies for Class 1 laser
products. It does not emit hazardous light; the beam is totally enclosed during all modes of customer
operation and maintenance.
NOTE: Only one CD may be used at one time in this CD drive. The CD drive eject
button is electronic and requires that the Notebook PC be powered ON in order to
eject the CD drive tray. When the Notebook PC is OFF, press the stop button on the
front of the Notebook PC twice to eject the CD tray.
