•Do not write on either side of the CD, particularly the non-label side (signals are read from the non-label side).

•Do not store CDs in high temperature or high humidity areas. They might warp.

•Keep CDs dry. A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser beam's focus.

Always handle a CD by the edges to avoid fingerprints and always keep it in its protective case or sleeve when it is not in use. Fingerprints and scratches on the CD's surface can prevent the laser beam from correctly reading the digital information. If the CD gets scratched, use RadioShack Scratch 'n Fix to repair the disc.
