Media care
This section provides tips on protecting data stored on your CD/DVD.
Handle your media with care. The following simple precautions will
increase the lifetime of your media and protect the data stored on them:

CD/DVD

1. Store your CD/DVD in the container they came in to protect them and
keep them clean.
2. Do not bend the CD/DVD.
3. Do not write on, apply a sticker to, or otherwise mark the surface of
the CD/DVD that contains data.
4. Hold the CD/DVD by its outside edge or the edge on the center hole.
Fingerprints on the surface can prevent the drive from properly read-
ing data.
5. Do not expose to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold. Do not place
heavy objects on your CD/DVD.
6. If your CD/DVDs become dusty or dirty, wipe them with a clean dry
cloth. Wipe from the center out, do not wipe in a circular direction
around the CD/DVD. If necessary, use a cloth dampened in water or
a neutral cleaner. Do not use benzine, thinner or similar cleaner
