5.1. Inserting Media
To insert a disc, push the load/eject button on your LaCie Dupli Disc CD121. When the disc tray opens, put the CD media
into the tray with the label side facing up. Make sure the CD is correctly placed in the center of the disc tray. Gently push in
the disc tray or push the load/eject button to close it.
5.2. Ejecting Media
Warning!
Do not attempt to open the drive's media tray or remove the CD while the unit is in use and being
accessed by the computer. You may injure yourself, and damage the drive and/or your computer system.
Warning!
Do not transport the drive with the tray open or with a CD inside it. Doing so may damage the drive
and/or data stored on the disc, and will void your warranty.
5.2.1. Windows Users
After you have finished using the CD-RW drive and the computer is no longer accessing it, push the load/eject button. When
the disc tray is fully open, remove the CD. After removing the disc, gently push in the disc tray or push on the load/eject
button to close it.
You can also go into My Computer and right click the CD drive icon. In the drop-down menu that follows, select the Eject
option. The disc tray will open, then you can access your media.
Important Note:
Windows 98 SE Users:
If you are using DirectCD, you must follow these steps to eject media. From
the System Tray (located in the lower right-hand side of your screen), right-click on the DirectCD icon and choose
the Eject option. A confirmation window will appear, allowing you to remove the media.
5.2.2. Mac Users
Drag the CD icon on the desktop to the Trash. The CD-RW drive's tray will then open. Remove the CD. Gently push in the disc
tray or push the load/eject button to close it.
5.3. Emergency Ejection of Media
In the event that a CD cannot be ejected with the load/eject button and the software is not controlling the drive, use the
emergency eject operation to open the disc tray. First, switch off your computer and the CD-RW drive and unplug the drive's
power.
