H A N D L I N G

The NUMBER ONE cause of premature disc failure with recordable media is contamination
of the recording surface before recording is completed. To minimize disc failure, use
the following disc-handling guidelines.

• Keep the media in its sealed package until you are ready to record.

• Keep the disc as clean and dust-free as possible. DO NOT touch the
recording surface, and do not expose the disc to dust or dirt.

• DO NOT BLOW ON THE DISC to remove dust or dirt. To remove dust
from the recording surface use a camera lens cleaner, a lint free cloth
or use compressed air. Wipe the disc from the center to the outer
edge. NEVER wipe the disc in a circular motion.

• Always record in a dust-free environment. If the disc is to be removed
from the DVDBurner drive, store the disc in a clean, dust-free environment.

• Never bend or flex the disc. This may warp the disc and leave it
unusable.

• Never scratch off the reflective top surface of recordable media..
Without the reflective surface the disc is completely unusable.

• If you must write on the recordable media disc surface, read the
back of the media jewel case or sleeve for instructions.
