Disc Handling Care

	Before using a disc, carefully read the operating/handling instructions and package of
	the disc.
	If the discs are not handled appropriately, they may become dirty or scratched. Further-
	more the writing speed may get slower and the data may not be correctly written on or
	read from the disc. Other damage may cause a drive failure.
	Note the following precautions.
	• Do not touch the disc surface (the side with no printing).
	• Keep the disc surface clean and free from dirt, dust, fingerprints and scratches.
	• Do not write on the surface of the disc with a ballpoint pen or other writing instrument.
	• Do not attach stickers to discs.
E
	• Do not drop, bend, or place heavy objects on top of discs.
	• Do not place or store discs in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, humidity or dust.
	• If a disc is brought from a cold to a warm location, condensation may form on the disc.
	For read-only discs, wipe off the condensation using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before
	using the disc. For recordable/rewritable discs, wait until the condensation dries.
	•When not using discs, keep them in their protective cases or cartridges.
	To clean discs
	<For read-only discs>
	Wipe discs with a dry, soft cloth from
	the center toward the edge.
	If discs get very dirty, wipe with a
	moist, soft cloth from the center toward the edge, then wipe again with a dry cloth to
	take up remaining moisture.
	<For recordable/rewritable discs>
	Use the Panasonic disc cleaner to clean these discs.
	Do not use a cloth, CD cleaners or any other such cleaners under any circumstances.
