1 • Introduction—Environmental considerations

direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-gen- erating electrical devices.

Always store CD-R discs in their “jewel cases” to avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces.

Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray.

When labeling CD-R discs, always use a soft oil- based felt-tipped pen to write the information. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.

Dirty discs may be cleaned using a soft dry cloth and/or a commercial CD cleaning fluid or ethyl alcohol. Do not use thinner, gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning fluid, as these will damage the disc.

If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
