To clean a disc, wipe it from the center outwards (not in a 
circle) with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, moisten the 
cloth with water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or 
rubbing alcohol). Let the disc dry completely before 
inserting it in the drive.
Powering down the computer
Pushing the power button before shutting down the Windows
®
 
operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make 
sure the system indicator panel’s disk light and the drive-in-
use light are off. If you turn off the power while a disk is being 
accessed, you may lose data or damage the disk and/or drive.
When you power down the computer, you have three options 
to choose from: Turn Off, Stand By, and Hibernation. 
You can set the computer to turn on automatically at a time 
you designate. This option is helpful for transferring files by 
modem at night. You can set the computer to turn on and send 
or receive the files while you are asleep. This option is called 
Auto Power On. 
TECHNICAL NOTES: Before using any of these options to 
power down your computer, save your files and make sure the 
disk activity lights are off.
If you change your mind and decide to continue working after 
all, wait a few seconds before turning the computer on again.
