Chapter 3 Preparations Notes on handling Handling The Professional Disc is housed in a cartridge, and is designed to allow handling free of risk from dust or fingerprints. However, if the cartridge is subjected to a severe shock, for example by dropping it, this can result in damage or scratching of the disc. If the disc is scratched, it may be impossible to record video/audio, or to play back the content recorded on the disc. The discs should be handled and stored carefully. • Do not touch the surface of the disc itself within the cartridge. • Deliberately opening the shutter may cause damage. • Do not disassemble the cartridge. • The supplied adhesive labels are recommended for indexing discs. Apply the label in the correct position. Storage • Do not store discs where they may be subjected to direct sunlight, or in other places where the temperature or humidity is high. • Do not leave cartridges where dust may get inside. • Store cartridges in their cases. Care of the discs • Remove dust and dirt on the outside of a cartridge using a soft dry cloth. • If condensation forms, allow ample time to dry before use. Write-protecting discs To protect the content recorded on the disc from accidental erasure, move the Write Inhibit tab on the lower surface of the disc in the direction of the arrow, as shown in the following figure.
