Media care

This section provides tips on protecting data stored on your CD's, DVD's
and floppy diskettes. Handle your media with care. Following the simple
precautions listed below will increase the lifetime of your media and protect
the data stored on it.
CD/DVDs
1. Store your CD's and DVD's in the containers they originally came in to
protect them and keep them clean.
2. Do not bend the CD's or DVD's.
3. Do not write on, apply a sticker to, or otherwise mar the surface of the
CD or DVD that contains the data.
4. Hold the CD or DVD by its outside edge or the edge on the center hole
- any fingerprints on the surface of the disc can prevent the drive from
properly reading data.
5. Do not expose the CD or DVD to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold.
6. Do not place heavy objects on your CD's or DVD's.
7. If your CD's or DVD's become dusty or dirty, wipe them with a clean dry
cloth from the center hole outwards - do not wipe in a circular direction.
If necessary, you can use a cloth that has been lightly dampened in
water or a neutral cleaner but you must not use benzine, thinner or any
similar cleaning solution.

Floppy diskettes

The USB floppy diskette drive is available only as an option.
1. Store your floppy diskettes in the container they came in to protect them
and keep them clean. If a floppy diskette becomes dirty, clean it with a
soft, lightly dampened cloth - do not use cleaning fluid.
2. Never open the shutter or touch the magnetic surface of your floppy
diskette - doing this could permanently damage it and lose data.
