3.3 Maintenance

Device maintenance

Use a soft, dust-free cloth to maintain your device. Never use water or cleaning products to clean your device.
Some solvents may damage the enclosure of your device.

Disc maintenance

You can clean your discs using a commercially available CD/DVD anti-static spray or CD/DVD cleaning kit. Make
sure that you do not scratch the discs while cleaning them.

Always handle your discs carefully. CDs and DVDs are sensitive to fingerprints, dust and scratches. Dirty or
damaged discs may cause damage to your device and result in read or write errors.
