Removing the Caddy from the Drive
1. Push the Eject button. The caddy will eject from the drive in 2--3 seconds.
2. Pull the caddy straight out of the drive.
3. If the caddy will not eject from the drive after pushing the Eject button, you
should be able to remove the caddy from the drive by using the Emergency
Eject button. Turn off power to the drive. Insert a paper clip into the
Emergency Eject hole. The caddy should now eject from the drive. Please
contact Plextor’s Technical Support Department before attempting to rein-
sert the caddy into the drive.
Cleaning the Disc
For proper read and write performance, it is important that your CD-R and CD-ROM
discs be clean. Trying to record on a dirty disc may result in a failed session and ruin
the disc.
If the disc is merely dusty, you may use a commercially available dust removal spray
such as Dust-Off or Vari-Air to blow dust particles off the disc. You should not use
liquid or chemical cleaners. They may damage the disc and make it unrecordable.
After removing the dust particles, you may wipe the disc using a clean, soft cotton
cloth to remove surface dirt such as fingerprints. Use a straight-line motion, wiping
from the center out.
Do
not
wipe the disc in a circular motion.
If an unrecorded disc becomes dirty or soiled with grease or other contaminants not
removable by wiping, you should probably discard the disc. It will probably fail during
the recording process.
Hint:
Keeping your frequently used CD-R and CD-ROM discs in caddies at
all times will prevent them from becoming dirty or damaged.
