Taking care of your optical discs

damage can render data on the disc unreadable or damage the reading lens in the
drive.
• Keeps discs in their cases when not in use.
• Hold discs by their edges to avoid getting fingerprints or scratches on the data
surface.
• When cleaning discs, use a soft, dust-free cloth and wipe the disc in a straight
line from the center to the edge. Do not wipe in a circular motion.
• Clean your optical drive periodically. Cleaning kits can be purchased from any
computer or electronics shop.
Note: Please refer to the cleaning kit instructions.
