Power display mode of the PORT DVD

The LED-Display of the PORT DVD blinks when the drive either is powered by the

AC Adapter or by the Notebook. The LED-display blinks also, when the power

supply of the computer is not sufficient. Operation is not possible.

Switch positions and drive operation

With the switch "PC" (5), the type of power supply can be selected. Please note

the points in the Section Device Description on page 7.

The tray for the media opens after pressing the eject button (3) on the front

side of the device (abt 1cm), and thereafter fully opend per hand to change

the media.

Should you wish to insert or remove a media when the drive is not in stand-

by mode, you can unlock the tray by inserting a bent-open paper clip, or a

similar pointed object, into the emergency eject hole (see page 7) until you

feel resistance (a light touch does it). When pulling out the paper clip, the

tray is unlocked and can be fully opened by hand.
