100 Learning the Basics Setting up for communications Caring for compact discs ❖ Store your discs in their original containers to protect them from scratches and keep them clean. ❖ Never bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it. ❖ Never apply a label to, or otherwise mar, the surface of a disc. ❖ Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the surface of a disc can prevent the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive from reading the data properly. ❖ Avoid exposing discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or cold. ❖ To clean a disc, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth - starting from the center of the disc and wiping toward the outward edge. Avoid wiping using a circular motion. If necessary, moisten the cloth with water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or rubbing alcohol). Let the disc dry completely before inserting it in the drive. Setting up for communications To connect to the Internet, use an online service, or communicate across the telephone lines with another computer, you need: ❖ A modem (supplied with your notebook computer) ❖ A telephone line ❖ A browser or communications program ❖ An Internet Service Provider (ISP) or online service if you plan to use the Internet
