7. Care and maintenance

Cleaning the pickup lens

Dust on the pickup lens can lead to hacking playback and 
disturbed functioning.
•  Open the CD cover and blow away any dust with the 

help of a spray tin filled with compressed air, normally 
used for cleaning cameras and objective lenses.

•  There are also special CDs which can be purchased and 

used for cleaning the pickup lens. 

Cleaning the player

•  Use a soft cloth moistened with luke-warm water and 

wrung out. 

•  Never use alcohol, petrol or other strong solvents as 

they can destroy the plastic surface. 

•  It is important that no liquid comes into contact with the 

CD player.

Consider this if the player is exposed to 
temperature change

Condensation 

on the components within the laser pickup 

can temporarily impair the player’s functions.

 

Condensation can occur under certain circumstances:
•  When you bring the player into a warm room from 

outdoors or if it is stored in a cold room which is quickly 
warmed up.

•  During summer if you take the player to a warm or 

damp place away from an air conditioned location e.g. 
a car or room.

If condensation occurs: 

•  Wait 1 – 2 hours to allow the player to adjust to the 

environment's temperature before using. Open the CD 
cover to quicken the process.

Warning!

 Do not expose the player to drops or splashes 

from liquids and do not place objects containing liquids on 
the player, e.g. vases or soft drinks.
Remember that the player needs ventilation to 
prevent overheating.

1. Safety Instructions

•  The product should only be repaired by qualified 

service technicians.

•  The product should not be taken apart or modified.
•  Do not place the product where there is a risk of it falling 

into water or other liquid. Do not place any objects 
which contain liquid on the product, e.g. flower vases or 
fizzy drinks.

•  Do not disassemble the player. The laser which is used 

for reading the discs can cause eye damage.

•  Do not insert any foreign objects into CD player. 

The player is equipped with a safety device which 
automatically shuts off the laser beam when CD cover is 
opened. Placing metal objects or other foreign objects 
into the player deactivates this safety feature.

•  Do not subject the player to impacts or vibrations.
•  Do not position the player in hot locations. The casing of 

the player can be damaged by high temperatures such as 
direct sunlight, radiators or leaving it in the car in summer.

•  Only use the player in temperatures ranging from 5ºC to 

35ºC and never in places that are humid or dusty. 

•  Protect your hearing. Listening to the player on high 

volume for prolonged periods can lead to permanent 
hearing loss.

•  Do not use the CD player while driving so that it 

causes you to lose your ability to concentrate on the 
surrounding traffic.
