Handling Precautions

• When handling the disc, avoid getting finger smudges, dirt, scratches, etc. on either of its surfaces.

• Should the disc become dirty, use an eyeglass cleaning cloth or some other soft cloth to wipe it lightly from the center of the disc outwards towards its edge. Never use phonograph record cleaner or any other cleaning agent.

• Never write on either of the disc’s surfaces with a pen or pencil, or affix a sticker to the disc surfaces.

• Use of a disc that is cracked or deformed, or a disc that has adhesive on it is dangerous. Never use such a disc.

Storage Precautions

• Avoid storing discs in areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity, or direct sunlight.

• When you are not using a disc, store it in its original case or in a commercially available CD case.

• Avoid storing a disc so its label comes in direct contact with the surface of a vinyl case, bag, etc.

Warning!

Never play a CD-ROM disc on any device that is not specifically designed to play back CD-ROM discs. Audio output at a high volume setting creates the risk of damaged hearing and damage to audio speakers.
