CD care
Handle your CDs with care. The following simple precautions will increase
the lifetime of your CDs and protect the data stored on them:
1. Store your CDs in the container they came in to protect them and keep
them clean.
2. Do not bend the CD.
3. Do not write on, apply a sticker to, or otherwise mar the surface of the
CD that contains data.
4. Hold the CD by its outside edge or the edge on the centre hole.
Fingerprints on the surface may 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 CDs.
6. If your CDs become dusty or dirty, wipe them with a clean dry cloth.
Wipe from the centre out, do not wipe in a circular direction around the
CD. If necessary, use a cloth dampened in water or a neutral cleaner.
Do not use benzine, thinner or similar cleaner.
