• When placing a disc in the drive tray, make sure that it is secure on the spindle of
the drive tray.
• Make sure that the disc is free from scratches or smudges. If the disc is dirty, clean
it using a disc cleaning kit.

kit.

When the battery is 95-99% full, it won't charge to 100% capacity.

fully recharge it.
