handling cds/dvds

•Return the disc to the case when you are finished using it.

•Handle the disc by its outside edges or center hole only.

•Do not touch the unlabeled side of a disc or place the unlabeled side down on your desk. Doing so could scratch the surface of the disc.

•Store discs at room temperature.
