CARE & MAINTENANCE

GENERAL GUIDELINES

• Do not touch the laser lens on the CD player.

• Temperature changes can cause condensation to form on the laser lens. If condensation forms on the lens, leave the disc compartment door open (without disc) for an hour to remove condensation.

• Exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat (such as inside a car parked in the sun) can cause damage or malfunction.

• To prevent dust from reaching internal parts, keep the compartment door closed when not using (except when necessary to remove condensation).

HANDLING THE COMPACT DISC

It's important that you periodically clean the laser lens:

1. Turn off the unit's power and disconnect the AC power.

2. Open the CD door and remove the disc.

3. Clean the lens with a soft cloth or use an air blower

brush designed for cameras.

4. If you still are not able to remove dirt particles, moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol and gently apply to the face of the laser lens, rubbing gently until all traces of dirt are removed.

Although the music tracks in the disc are covered with a protective layer, it is still advisable to treat the disc carefully. Always pick up discs by the edge and put them back in their holders immediately after use.

CLEANING THE UNIT
