CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Theradio section of your new sound system does not require any
maintenance. We recommend you keep this manual for reference on the many features found in this unit as well as how to set
the clock.
The compact disc player section also requires no routine maintenance, but proper understanding of its use and handling will
help you obtain maximum enjoyment of its capabilities. The
following points should be observed:
When cleaning the interior of the vehicle, do not get water or
cleaning fluids on the unit.
The CD player is a precision instrument and will not operate
properly in extreme hot or cold. In case of such conditions, wait
until the interior temperature of the vehicle reaches a normal
temperature before using the player.
If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a protective
circuit will automatically stop play of the disc. In this case, allow
the unit to cool off before operating the player again.
Never insert anything other than a 5" (12 cm) compact disc into
theplayer as the mechanism can be damaged by foreign objects.
Do not attempt to use 3" (8 cm) CD-Single discs in this unit, either
with or without an adaptor, as damage to the player and/or disc
may occur. Such damage will not be covered by the Warranty on
this product.
When not using the disc player, always remove the compact
disc. Do not leave an ejected disc sitting in the disc slot as this
can expose it to sunlight and other causes of damage.
Do not attempt to open the unit chassis. There are no user
serviceable parts or adjustments inside.
When the vehicle warms up during cold weather or under damp
conditions, moisture may condense on the lens of the disc
player. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly
until the moisture has evaporated.
The unit is designed with a vibration dampening CD mechanism
to minimize interruption of disc play due to normal vibration in a
moving vehicle. When driving on very rough roads, however,
occasional sound skips may occur. This will not scratch or
damage the disc and normal play will resume when the rough
conditions cease.
HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
Dirt, dust, scratches, and warpage can cause skips in the
playbackand deterioration of sound quality. Please follow these
guidelines to take care of your compact discs:
Use only compact discs with the mark
Fingerprints, dust, and dirt should be carefully wiped off the
disc’s playing surface (shiny side) with a soft cloth. Wipe in a
straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays, household clean-
ers or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals can
irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.
Donot expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high
humidity for extended periods.
Do not stick paper, tape, or labels on the disc surfaces nor write
on them with any type of marker.
