Media Care

This section provides tips on protecting data stored on your CD/DVDs
and diskettes.
Handles your media with care. The following simple precautions will
increase the lifetime of your media and protect the data stored on them:
1. Store your CD/DVDs in the container they came in to protect them and
keep them clean.
2. Do not bend the CD/DVD.
3. Do not write on, apply a sticker to, or otherwise mar the surface of the
CD/ DVD that contains data.
4. Hold the CD/DVD by its outside edge or the edge on the center hole.
Fingerprints on the surface can prevent the drive from properly reading
data.
5. Do not expose to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold. Do not place
heavy objects on your CD/DVDs.
6. If your CD/DVDs become dusty or dirty, wipe them with a clean dry cloth.
Wipe from the center out, do not wipe in a circular direction around the
CD/ DVD. If necessary, use a cloth dampened in water or a neutral
cleaner. Do not use benzine, thinner or similar cleaner.
Diskettes
1. Store your diskettes in the container they came in to protect them and
keep them clean. If a diskette is dirty, do not use cleaning fluid. Clean it
with a soft damp cloth.
2. Do not slide back the diskette's protective metal covering or touch the
diskette's magnetic surface. Fingerprints may prevent the diskette drive
from reading data from the diskette.
3. Data may be lost if the diskette is twisted; bent; or exposed to direct
sunlight, extreme heat or cold.
4. Do not place heavy objects on your diskettes.
5. Do not eat, smoke, or use erasers near your diskettes. Foreign particles
inside the diskette's jacket can damage the magnetic surface.
