Handling Discs

Always handle a disc by its edges. Never touch the surface of
the disc directly. To remove inadvertent fingerprints and dust,
use a soft cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center of
the disc to the outside edge. Never use liquid or aerosol
cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean the disc surface.
Do not place discs in the following places: direct sunlight; dirty,
dusty and damp areas; near car heaters; on the seats or
dashboard. Avoid using adhesive labels on discs.

Liquids and the 410X

Keep all liquids, including beverages and cleaning liquids,
away from the 410X. Liquids inside the player can damage the
electronics, and result in electrical shock or fire. If the unit or
the remote control should become wet, turn off all power and
contact an authorized Rosen/necvox dealer to have the
system inspected.

Servicing the 410X

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