Handling Compact Discs
To protect your CDs from damage, use the following
guidelines when you handle them.
Always pick up the disc by its edges.
Do not touch the surfaces of the disc. Handle it by the
edges and, if necessary, by putting your finger through
the hole.
Handling a CD
Do not write on or apply labels to either side of the disc.
Keep the disc away from direct sunlight or high
temperatures. Clean fingerprints or dust from the disc by
wiping it with a soft dry cloth.
Gently, brush the cloth from the center of the disc
toward the edge.
