■
Prior to using your Optical Drive, you
must install the Optical Player soft-
ware.
Refer to the applicable readme file
on the Driver Applications CD-ROM for
instructions on installing your Optical
Player software.
■
You should periodically check the Fujitsu
Web site at www.us.fujitsu.com/
computers for current updated drivers.
■
Prolonged use of the optical drive, such
as watching a DVD movie, will
substantially reduce your battery life.
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.
There may be a protective sheet in the tray
from when it was shipped; please make sure
it is removed before operating the drive,
otherwise your drive may be damaged.
If you have disabled the Auto Insert Notifi-
cation Function, you will have to start the
drive from your desktop, since your note-
book will not automatically recognize that
media has been loaded.
