4.PRECAUTIONS

English

1. When the inside of the car is very cold and the player is used soon after switching on the heater, moisture may form on the disc or the optical parts of the player and proper playback may not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the optical parts of the player, do not use the player for about one hour and the condensation will disappear naturally to allow normal operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.

3. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even in the event that trouble arises, never open the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.

CAUTION

USE OF CONTROLS, ADJUSTMENTS, OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN, MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED OR REPAIRED BY ANYONE EXCEPT PROPERLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

INFORMATION FOR USERS:.

CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS PRODUCT NOT APPROVED BY THE MANUFACTURER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND WILL VIOLATE FCC APPROVAL.

Flip Down Panel

English

This unit uses a flip-down structure that makes possible large-size displays.

CAUTION

When opening and closing the FLIP DOWN PANEL, be careful not to catch your fingers. They could be injured.

1. Always use this unit with the FLIP DOWN PANEL closed.

2. Do not force operations or use this device abnormally when opening or closing the FLIP DOWN PANEL.

3. Do not use the FLIP DOWN PANEL as a tray to place objects on when it is open.

4. When closing the FLIP DOWN PANEL, do not press the [OPEN] button.

5. Strong impacts to the operating or display section can cause damage or deformation.

6. If the FLIP DOWN PANEL does not open fully, gently open it with your hand.

Handling Compact Discs

Use only compact discs bearing the mark. Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other

specially shaped compact dics. Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode may

not be usable.

Handling

• Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high temperature and humidity and some of CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be played. Therefore, do not leave them for a long time in the car.

• New discs may have some roughness around the edges. If such discs are used, the player may not work or the sound may skip. Use a ball-point pen or the like to remove any roughness from the edge of the disc.

Ball-point pen

Roughness

• Never stick labels on the surface of the compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.

• Never play a compact disc with any cellophane tape or other glue on it or with peeling off marks. If you try to play such a compact disc, you may not be able to get it back out of the CD player or it may damage the CD player.

• Do not use compact discs that have large scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of such discs may cause misoperation or damage.

• To remove a compact disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

• Do not use commercially available CD protection sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.

Storage

• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight or any heat source.

• Do not expose compact discs to excess humidity or dust.

• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat from heaters.

Cleaning

• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center of the compact disc to the circumference.

• Do not use any solvents, such as commercially available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean compact discs.

• After using special compact disc cleaner, let the compact disc dry off well before playing it.

5.DCP (Detachable Control Panel

)

English

The control panel can be detached to prevent theft. When detaching the control panel, store it in the DCP (Detachable Control Panel) case to prevent scratches.

We recommend taking the DCP with you when leaving the car.

CAUTION

Be sure to close the HOLD FLAP for safety when removing the DCP.

Attaching the DCP

1. Insert the right side of the DCP into the main unit.

DCP

CAUTION

• The DCP can easily be damaged by shocks.

After removing it, be careful not to drop it or subject it to strong shocks.

• If the FLIP DOWN PANEL is kept open, the

DCP may drop due to vibration of the car. This results in damage to the DCP. So close

the FLIP DOWN PANEL or remove the DCP to store into the case.

• The connector connecting the main unit and

the DCP is an extremely important part. Be careful not to damage it by pressing on it with fingernails, pens, screwdrivers, etc.
