Caring for CD or DVD Discs

❖
Store your discs in their original containers to protect
them from scratches and keep them clean.
❖
Do not bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it.
❖
Do not apply a label to, or otherwise mar the surface of, a
disc.
❖
Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the
surface can prevent the optical drive from reading the
data properly.
❖
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or
cold.
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil
lead can break off inside the computer and damage it.
