Precautions & General Maintenance 

• Place the set on a hard and flat surface so that the

system does not tilt.

• Do not expose the set, batteries or CDs to

humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused by
heating equipment or direct sunlight. 

• Do not cover the set. Adequate ventilation with a

minimum gap of 6 inches between the ventilation
holes and surrounding surfaces is necessary to
prevent heat build-up.

• The mechanical parts of the set contain self-

lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or
lubricated.

• To clean the set, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use

any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia,
benzene or abrasives as these may harm the
housing.

CD player and CD handling  

• The lens of the CD player should never be touched!
• Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause condensation to form and the lens of your CD player to

cloud over. Playing a CD is then not possible. Do not attempt to clean the lens but leave the set in a warm environment
until the moisture evaporates.

• Always close the CD door to keep the CD compartment dust-free. To clean, dust the compartment with a soft dry cloth.
• To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from the center towards the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning

agents as they may damage the disc.

• Never write on a CD or attach any stickers to it.
