Caring for your Floppy Disks (optional)

Avoid using the floppy disks in damp and dusty locations.

Never store a floppy disk near a magnet or magnetic field.

Do not use a pencil or an eraser on a disk or disk label.

Avoid storing the floppy disks in extremely hot or cold locations, or in locations subject to severe
temperature changes. Store at temperatures between 50º F (10ºC) and 125ºF (52ºC).

Do not touch the exposed part of the disk behind the metal shutter.

Never use the floppy disk drive with any foreign matter inside the floppy disk drive or disk.

Never disassemble your floppy disk drive.

Media Care

Caring for your Media (DVD/CD/CD-R/BD)

Media discs are precision devices and will function reliably if given reasonable care.

Always store your media disc in its case when it is not in use.

Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching the surface.

Avoid storing any media discs in extreme temperatures.

Do not bend media discs or set heavy objects on them.

Do not spill liquids on media discs.

Do not scratch or get dust on media discs.

Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen or pencil. Always use a felt pen.

If a media disc is subjected to a sudden change in temperature, cold to warm condensation may form
on the surface. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free cloth and let it dry at room
temperature. DO NOT use a hair dryer or heater to dry media discs.

If a disc is dirty, use only a DVD/CD cleaner or wipe it with a clean, soft, lint free cloth.
