Handle CD/DVDs
Recordable CDs are considerably more sensitive to damage than the conventional CDROMs that you may be familiar with. Respect the handling instructions below.
| CAUTION | |
|---|---|
To avoid image loss, never touch the recording surface of a recordable CD (CD-R). Handle the disk only by the outer edge or central hole. Do not place it face down on a hard surface. Fingerprints or scratches will make the disk unusable. | |
- Store the disc in the protective case. Proper storage helps protect the data from damage due to scratches on the disc surface.
- Do not leave the disc in direct sunlight or in a hot, humid environment. These conditions can warp and damage the disc.
- Use only a felt tip permanent pen when labeling. Write only on the clear inner diameter of the disk (or the printed area of a CD-R). Never use a ballpoint or hard point writing tool as it may damage the disc. Do not use adhesive labels.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove spots, dust, or fingerprints from the disc. Always wipe from the center to the outside edge of the disc. Never wipe the disc in a circular motion.
- Do not use any chemical-based cleaners. These can damage the disc.
- Do not use the CD/DVD program to permanently store your MR data. If the CD/DVD is scratched there is no recovery of the data.
