Safety Precautions
WARNING: TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN
OR MOISTURE.
This compact disc player is classified as a CLASS 1
LASER product. This device uses a laser light beam.
Only a qualified service person should remove the
cover or attempt to service this device, due to possible
eye injury.
• Do not attempt to disassemble this unit. Laser rays
from the optical pickup are dangerous to the eyes.
• Make sure that pins or other foreign objects do not
get inside the player.
• Take care not to drop the unit or subject it to strong
shocks.
• If you hear no sound when playing a disc, DO NOT
turn the volume up high because the music could
suddenly begin at high volume. To avoid hurting
your ears or damaging the speakers, turn the
volume control to the level before starting playback
and slowly turn it up to the desired level.
• To keep dust from the pickup lens, keep the disc
compartment lid closed after use. Never touch the
lens.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear an earphone or headphones while
operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can
create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some
areas.
Even though some earphones or headphones let you
hear some outside sounds when listening at normal
volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these earphone or
headphones guidelines.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you
begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the
volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.
Extended high-volume listening can lead to
permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over
time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a
volume level that does not cause discomfort might
still damage your hearing.

To Maintain Good Performance
Do not use the unit in places that are extremely hot,
cold, dusty, or humid, such as:
• In a high humidity area, such as a bathroom near a
heater.
• In an area exposed to direct sunlight (e.g., inside a
parked car, where it can become extremely hot).
• Near sources of strong magnetism, such as
televisions, speakers, or magnets.
• Where there is a lot of movement or vibration, such
as on a car dashboard or an unstable shelf.
CD Care Tips
• Do not write on either side of the CD, particularly the
non-label side (signals are read from the non-label
side).
• Do not store CDs in high temperature or high
humidity areas. They might warp.
• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can act as a lens and
affect the laser beam’s focus.
• Never use chemicals such as record cleaning sprays,
anti-static sprays or fluids, benzene, or thinner to clean
CDs. These chemicals will permanently damage the
plastic surface of the CD.
• Always handle a CD by the edges to avoid
fingerprints and always keep it in its protective case
or sleeve when it is not in use. Fingerprints and
scratches on the CD’s surface can prevent the laser
beam from correctly reading the digital information.
If the CD gets scratched, use CD repair kit to repair
the disc (available at your local electronics store).
• If a CD skips when you try to play it, the CD might
be scratched. Your local electronics retailer sells a
CD repair kit that might stop the skip.
