Safe Use of External DVD SuperMulti Drive,
Components and Accessories
(2) Always handle CDs and DVDs with care, to prevent the
possible loss of stored data:
(a) Always store a CD or DVD in its case when it is not
in use, to protect its surface from scratches or
contaminants. A CD Drive or DVD Drive may be
unable to read the data correctly if the surface of
the disk is scratched or contaminated.
(b) Always hold a CD or DVD by its outside edge and
center hole, using the tips of your fingers.
Fingerprints on the surface of the disk may hinder
the correct reading of data.
(c) Never write on the surface of a CD or DVD, as that
may hinder the correct reading of data.
(d) Never use an organic solvent, (e.g., benzene or
thinner), to clean a CD or DVD. That could cause
degradation or deformation of the disk, and
possible loss of stored data. Always use a soft,
clean, dry cloth and always wipe the surface of the
disk from its center to its outer edge.
(e) Never store a CD or DVD where it will be exposed
to extremely high temperatures, direct sunlight, or
extremely low temperatures.
(f) Never place any heavy objects on a CD or DVD.
Deformation of the disk may hinder the correct
reading of data.
