on the 'round disk' (the one that comes with the red side), what is the push/pull little tab, with lock/unlock icons --- what is it for???

If you get this dock, don't use that piece. It doesn't stay on the dash and leaves a nasty residue. Just don't do it, not worth the extra bucks saved.

Pull the little tab to rotate the disk. Push the tab to lock it. Hope this helps.

I came here looking for a solution, thanks to these answers I found my product key printed on the installation disc itself. It was the only place I hadn't looked, as the disc was in my computer when I needed the key.

It is a 'Hot Swap' function button. It allows you to remove an existing drive and attach a different one. It works well.

Sorry I really don't know. I think the key only unlocks the disk and allows files to be installed. Once you install it and updated you get a different product key. If you right click on the left bottom of screen on the windows icon and then click on System. Once the window pops up scroll down to the bottom and you will see where is says Windows Activated and Product ID. I don't know if it would take the number or not. The number is program into the disk and may not be an online number. All you can do is try or call Microsoft, I don't think it would work.

There is one disk already installed. Just push up on it from below and it will pop out. It's a tight fit and will take a moderate amount of pressure, but you should be able to do it with your fingers.

There is a button on the far right at the top it looks like an eject button press that and the whole screen will slide down and out . Then you will see the slot where you put the dvds and cds.

Well it might be the SD-Lock. To test it, take out the sd unlock the little slider and try to put it back. Then take it out again to check if the SD-Lock is "Locked" (opposed to when you inserted.). With mine i just glued the lock so it does not turn back. (Literally glued)

Beneath each CD Tray there is a thin glossy band. The very rightmost side of that band is the eject button, it sits beneath the open tray symbol on the tray door.

Run your fingers over the front of the drive to the right side and you will feel the button to push in. Can't see it. I had to look in the manual.

I used it to download the content for 'The Evil Within' since there was so much of it; All I did was insert the flash drive in, inserted the game disc, and it gave me 3 storage options(usually just 2 before the flash...)to download the content/updates: the hard drive, iCloud, or flash drive; I selected flash drive and the content/updates were added to it, and now when I play that game I use the flash drive as my storage device. Hope this helps a little. Very simple to use and very helpful.

It's easy to remove the discs because there are spaces in the middle of the rims on the half of the case where the disc sits, one on the top and another one on the bottom. When you push down to loosen the disc you have spaces to put your fingers so you can grasp the disc by the edges and lift it out. It's a little hard to explain but I hope you get the picture!

It's safer than to try to force it into the trays which open up. It's good machine. It has some soft velvet to protect it while loading. It also has a button to open so less likely to eat the disk.

The red surface covers an adhesive layer. This allows you to stick the round disk onto a smooth surface other than your window, and then you can attach the suction cup onto that disc. Doesn't stick well to textured surfaces like dashboards and center consoles, though.

That button is for backing up with the included software. I love it for quick backup of my save games. The cloning (which I've never used) requires a different procedure not easily done accidentally. I really love this little device.

There is a mouse lock icon that I occasionally hit. It is on the touch pad. At first I thought It was broken, but it was just that.

My stem had a lock release sliding swit h on it. Slide and hold down while you put the stem on disk turn into place. Be sure the sliding switch locks joe this helps
