Caution in Handling CDs
Keep the following in mind when using a CD.
• When taking out a disc from the case or loading it in your computer, don’t touch any surface of
it.
• Handle a disc with care so as not to put fingerprints on it, to make it dirty or dusty, or to scratch
it, otherwise no data could be read from it, written or rewritten to it. Music CDs could not be
played back normally if they are soiled with fingerprints, etc.
• Don’t stick any label on any surface of a disc, or write anything to it with a ball-point pen or
pencil.
• Be careful not to spill coffee or any other liquid over a disc.
• When a disc is dirty or condensation occurs on it, wipe the disc radially from the center with a
slightly moistened cloth, then with a dry cloth. Don’t use a hairdryer to dry it or don’t let a wet
disc dry naturally.
• Don’t use benzene, thinner, water, record cleaner, antistatic spray, or silicone cloth to clean
discs.
• Always keep discs in their cases when they are not in use.
• Don’t bend a disc or put any heavy object on top of it.
• Don’t store discs in an extremely hot or cold place.
