A video disc contains high density compressed data 
that requires proper Handling.

Hold the disc's outer edge and/or the center spindle 
hole. Do not touch the disc surface if at all possible.

Do not bend or press on the disc. Do NOT expose the 
disc to direct sunlight or heating sources.

Store discs in a cabinet vertically, in a dry location. 
Prevent exposure to:
- Direct sunlight
- Heat or exhaust from a heating device.
- Extreme humidity.

Clean the disc surface with a soft, dry cleaning cloth. 
Wipe the disc surface gently, from center toward the 
outer edge.

Do not apply thinner, alcohol chemical solvent, or 
sprays when cleaning. Such cleaning fluids will 
permanently damage the disc surface.

Do not attach paper or tape to the disc. A video disc

properly, matching to the s, - marked in the 
battery compartment. Close the battery compartment 
cover.

When replacing batteries, replace both of them.  Do not 
mix new and used batteries together, otherwise, battery 
life will be much shorter than normal.
