Do not write on, apply a sticker to, or otherwise mar the surface of the CD/DVD that contains data. 4. Hold the CD/DVD by its outside edge or the edge on the center hole. Fingerprints on the surface can prevent the drive from properly reading data. 5. Do not expose to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold. Do not place heavy objects on your CD/DVDs. 6. If your CD/DVDs become dusty or dirty, wipe them with a clean dry cloth. Wipe from the center out, do not wipe in a circular direction around the CD/DVD. If necessary, use a cloth dampened in water or a neutral cleaner. Do not use benzine, thinner or similar cleaner. Floppy disks 1.

Always apply the floppy disk label in the correct location. Never apply a new label on top of an existing one. The label could come loose and damage the floppy drive. 4. Never use a pencil for writing on a floppy disk label. Pencil lead dust could cause a system malfunction. Always use a felt-tipped pen. When writing a title on a label, first write on the label, then apply the label to the floppy disk. 5. Never put a floppy disk in a location where water or other liquid may contact it or where it is excessively damp. It could cause data loss. Never use a wet or damp floppy disk. It could damage the floppy disk drive or other devices. 6. Data may be lost if the floppy disk is twisted; bent; or exposed to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold. 7. Do not place heavy objects on your floppy disks. 8. Do not eat, smoke, or use erasers near your floppy disks. Foreign particles inside the floppy disk's jacket can damage the magnetic surface. 9.
