damage to your Wii system or game discs.
• To avoid pinching your finger, do not load the disc with your finger in the
hole. Always handle the disc by the edges.
• Do not touch the bottom unprinted surface of the Game Disc. Always handle
the disc by the edges.
• Do not use cracked, deformed or repaired discs.
• Do not bend or put excessive pressure on discs when loading into console.
• Do not leave discs in direct sunlight or expose them to high temperatures,
high humidity or dust, dirt or other contaminates.
• When not using discs, store them in their cases to prevent them from getting
scratched, dirty or damaged.
• Do not write on, or place stickers on any part of the disc.
• If a disc becomes dirty or contaminated with fingerprints, the system may not
be able to read the game data correctly. If necessary, clean the disc with a
soft, slightly damp cotton cloth (use water only). Clean the disc from center
towards the edges; do not use a circular motion.
Wii System Play Guidelines
CAUTION - Adequate Space Required
