Care of your MapCreate DVDs:
Protect the shiny recorded surface of the compact discs from scratches,
fingerprints and dirt. Hold a disc along the outer edge or by the center

cial CD/DVD cleaner or ethyl alcohol to remove fingerprints and dirt. Do
not leave your discs in direct sunlight or in a hot, humid location.
