Caring for CD or DVD Discs 
Store your discs in their original containers to protect 
them from scratches and keep them clean.
Do not bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it.
Do not apply a label to, or otherwise mar the surface of a 
disc.
Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the 
surface can prevent the DVD-ROM drive or multi-
function drive from reading the data properly.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or 
cold.
To clean a disc that is dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry 
cloth. The most efficient method to clean it is to start 
from the center of the disc and wipe toward the outward 
edge (not in a circle). 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.
Powering down the computer
Pushing the power button before shutting down the Windows 
operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make 
sure the system indicator panel’s disk light and the drive-in 
use light are off. If you turn off the power while a disk is being 
accessed, you may lose data or damage the disk and/or drive.
When you power down the computer, you have three options 
to choose from: Turn Off Computer, Standby, and 
Hibernation.
