HINTS FOR CORRECT AND SAFE OPERATION
This CD Changer is designed to be operated only on 12 volt DC
negative ground systems. The unit can not be used on 24 volt or
positive ground systems.
TEMPERATURE
The unit may not operate correctly in extremely hot or cold
temperatures. It is equipped with a built-in thermal protection
circuit which will stop operation of the unit when the temperature
reaches the pre-set level. If this should happen, the unit will
resume operation when the vehicle returns to a normal temperature range.
Remove the magazine from the unit when it is not being used
during hot weather. If the discs are left in an extremely hot car they
may warp. If the CD changer is not used for long periods of time,
remove the compact discs from the magazine, and store them in
their cases.
CONDENSATION
Moisture can condense on the laser lens of the CD changer during
rainy and humid days, or right after the heater is turned on in the
car (if the changer is mounted in the passenger compartment). If
this should happen the unit will not operate correctly. To remedy
the situation, remove the discs from the unit and wait approximately one hour. During this time the moisture will evaporate and
the unit will operate normally.
INTERRUPTIONS IN SOUND (Skipping)
The sound from the unit may "skip" and be interrupted if the
anti-vibration springs are not set correctly, if the changer is
mounted in excess of a 15° angle, or when travelling on very rough
road surfaces. If this should occur, check for errors made during
installation or wait for the road surface to improve.
3" (8cm) CD-SINGLES
This unit is not designed to play 3" (8cm) CD-Single discs.
Inserting a 3" disc into the magazine, either with or without a 3" disc
adaptor, can damage the changer and the disc. Such damage will
not be covered by the Warranty on this product.

HANDLING THE DISCS
Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage cause sound skips during playback and a deterioration of sound quality. To take proper care
of your discs:
COMPACT
1. Use compact discs that have the mark .
2. Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's signal surface (glossy side) with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional
records, the compact disc has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove
most particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles or light stains will have
absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
3. Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzine or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals
could irreparably damage the disc's plastic surface.
4. Discs should be put back in their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that could cause the sound to skip.
5. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for extended periods of time. Long exposure to high
temperatures can warp the disc.
6. Do not stick paper, labels, or tape on the disc surface.
7. Do not write with any type of pen, pencil, or marker on the disc surface.
8. To minimize fingerprints and smudges on the signal surface, always try to hold the discs by their outer edge and center hole.
