Using Optical Disks CAUTION Using Optical Disks Caring for Optical Disks Caring for Optical Disks Follow these guidelines to ensure that your optical disks remain in good condition: • Do not expose disks to extreme magnetic fields. • Do not expose disks to dust particles. • Do not expose disks to extreme temperatures or extreme humidity. • Do not drop the disks. • Do not open a disk's metal shutter and touch the disk surface. • Do not take disks apart. • Do not insert disks with loosely-attached labels into the jukebox. • Remove old disk labels before applying new ones especially if you choose to place labels on the sides of the cartridge (near the shutter) rather than on the end of the cartridge. • Store disks in a clean, safe place when they are not in use. Cleaning Disks Normally, an optical disk does not require cleaning when used in a computer room or clean office environment. If you are in an extremely dusty environment and are experiencing difficulties reading and/or writing to a particular disk you may want to clean the disk to see if this corrects the problem. Be very careful when cleaning an optical disk. Abrasive particles dragged across the disk surface can damage the disk and prevent recovery of some or all of the data on the disk. Clean a disk only with an approved disk cleaning kit. Follow the disk cleaning kit instructions exactly. Disk cleaning kits are listed on www.hp.com/go/optical. Chapter 2 2- 7
