Care of CD-ROMs
CD-ROMs are precision devices and will func-
tion reliably if given reasonable care.
■
Always store your disk in its case when it is
not in use.
■
When removing the disk from its case, press
down on the holder’s center while lifting out
the disk by its edges. (Figure 2-13.)
■
Always handle a disk by the edges and avoid
touching the surface.
■
Avoid storing any disk where there are
temperature extremes.
■
Do not bend disks or set heavy objects
on them.
■
Never write on the label surface with a ball
point pen, pencil or similar device.
■
If a disk is subjected to a sudden change from
cold to warm, condensation may form on the
surface. Wipe the moisture off with a clean,
soft, lint free cloth and then let it dry at room
temperature. DO NOT use a hair dryer or
heater to dry a disk.
