Useful advice

Do not use your CD Micro System immediately after transporting it from a cold place to a warm place, as condensation may cause the system to malfunction. If moisture forms inside this system, it may not operate properly. To correct the problem, turn off the power and wait about 30 minutes for moisture to evaporate

This system is fitted with a laser. To avoid accidents, it is to be opened by qualified technicians only.

Never leave the tray open as dust could cover the laser lens and/or the tray could be bumped into accidentally

Do not place the system near wet areas such as bathrooms and pool side.

Avoid storing the system at humid places or near abnormally heated areas.

Power is continuously supplied to the system. To disconnect power completely, unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

LOUD NOISE CAN DAMAGE YOUR HEARING! Make sure you turn down the volume on the unit before putting on headphones. Increase the volume to your desired level only after headphones are in place.

Useful advice

This unit uses a laser beam. To prevent any accident due to this type of beam, the set should only be opened by properly-trained personnel.

Make sure you keep your set away from water and high temperatures.

If you do not use the remote control for more than one month, we advise you to take out

all the batteries to prevent leakage.

To prevent any personal injury, do not mix battery types and never reverse their polarities.

Important battery information

If you’re not going to use your unit for a month or more, be sure to remove batteries because they can leak and cause damage. Discard leaky batteries immediately as leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injuries. Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to provincial and local regulations. Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

Maintenance

• Clean the set with a soft cloth or a dampen chamois leather. Never use solvents, as it may damage the unit.

Cassettes

• To protect your recordings from accidental erasure on one or both sides of your cassette, snap out the tab at the top of the cassette. If you decide

later to record on the tape, seal the hole with a piece of adhesive tape. (Refer diagram on the right)

Quit Slacking

• A little bit of slack in your tapes can cause scratches on the tape, or worse yet, the tape could break. If you notice some slack in the tape, use a pencil to tighten it up before you insert it.
