Operating Basics Media care This section provides tips on protecting data stored on your CD/DVDs and diskettes. Handle your media with care. The following simple precautions will increase the lifetime of your media and protect the data stored on them: CD/DVDs 1. Store your CD/DVDs in the container they came in to protect them and keep them clean. 2. Do not bend the CD/DVD. 3. 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. Diskettes 1. Store your diskettes in the container they came in to protect them and keep them clean. If a diskette is dirty, do not use cleaning fluid. Clean it with a soft damp cloth. 2. Do not slide back the diskette's protective metal covering or touch the diskette's magnetic surface. Fingerprints may prevent the floppy disk drive from reading data from the diskette. 3. Data may be lost if the diskette is twisted; bent; or exposed to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold. 4. Do not place heavy objects on your diskettes. 5. Do not eat, smoke, or use erasers near your diskettes. Foreign particles inside the diskette's jacket can damage the magnetic surface. 6. Magnetic energy can destroy the data on your diskettes. Keep your diskettes away from speakers, radios, television sets and other sources of magnetic fields. TECRA M2 4-18

Operating Basics
Media care
This section provides tips on protecting data stored on your CD/DVDs and
diskettes.
Handle your media with care. The following simple precautions will increase
the lifetime of your media and protect the data stored on them:
CD/DVDs
1.
Store your CD/DVDs in the container they came in to protect them and
keep them clean.
2.
Do not bend the CD/DVD.
3.
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.
Diskettes
1.
Store your diskettes in the container they came in to protect them and
keep them clean. If a diskette is dirty, do not use cleaning fluid. Clean it
with a soft damp cloth.
2.
Do not slide back the diskette’s protective metal covering or touch the
diskette’s magnetic surface. Fingerprints may prevent the floppy disk
drive from reading data from the diskette.
3.
Data may be lost if the diskette is twisted; bent; or exposed to direct
sunlight, extreme heat or cold.
4.
Do not place heavy objects on your diskettes.
5.
Do not eat, smoke, or use erasers near your diskettes. Foreign particles
inside the diskette’s jacket can damage the magnetic surface.
6.
Magnetic energy can destroy the data on your diskettes. Keep your
diskettes away from speakers, radios, television sets and other sources
of magnetic fields.
