MEDIA CARE

Caring for your Media (DVD/CD/CD-R)

Media discs are precision devices and will function reli- ably if given reasonable care.

Always store your media disc in its case when it is not in use.

Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching the surface.

Avoid storing any media discs in extreme temperatures.

Do not bend media discs or set heavy objects on them.

Do not spill liquids on media discs.

Do not scratch media discs.

Do not get dust on media discs.

Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen or pencil. Always use a felt pen.

If a media disc is subjected to a sudden change in tem- perature, cold to warm condensation may form on the surface. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use a hair dryer or heater to dry media discs.

If a disc is dirty, use only a DVD/CD cleaner or wipe it with a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner edge and wiping to the outer edge.

Caring for your Optical Drive

Your optical drive is durable but you must treat it with care. Please pay attention to the following points:

The drive rotates the compact disc at a very high speed. Do not carry it around or subject it to shock

or vibration with the power on.

Avoid using or storing the drive where it will be exposed to extreme temperatures.

Avoid using or storing the drive where it is damp or dusty.

Avoid using or storing the drive near magnets or devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

Avoid using or storing the drive where it will be subjected to shock or vibration.

Do not disassemble or dismantle the optical drive.

Use of a commercially available lens cleaner is recommended for regular maintenance of your drive.
