CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The radio portion of your new sound system does not require any maintenance. We recommend you keep
this manual for reference to the any features found in this unit as well as how to set the clock. The compact
disc player section also requires no routine maintenance, but proper understanding of its use and handing will
help you obtain maximum enjoyment of its capabilities. The following points should be observed.
l
When cleaning the interior of the vehicle, do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.
l
The CD player is a precision instrument and will not operate properly in extreme hot or cold. In case
of such conditions, wait until the interior temperature of the vehicle reaches a normal temperature
before using the player.
l
If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a protective circuit will automatically stop play of
the disc. In this case, allow the unit to cool off before operating the player again.
l
Never insert anything other than a 5" (12cm) compact disc into the player as the mechanism can be
damaged by foreign objects.
l
Do not attempt to use 3" (8m) CD-Single discs in this unit, either with or without an adaptor, as
damage to the player and or disc may occur. Such damage will not be covered by the Warranty on
this product.
l
When not using the disc player, always remove the compact disc. Do not leave an ejected disc
sitting in the disc slot as this can expose it to sunlight and other causes of damage.
l
Do not attempt to open the unit chassis. There are no user serviceable parts or adjustments in side.
l
When the vehicle warms up during cold weather or under damp conditions, moisture may condense
on the lens of the disc player. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly until the
moisture has evaporated.
l
The unit is designed with a vibration dampening CD mechanism to minimize interruption of disc
play due to normal vibration in a moving vehicle. When driving on very rough roads, however,
occasional sound skips may occur. This will not scratch or damage the disc and normal play will
resume when the rough conditions cease.
Handing Compact Discs:
Dirt, dust, scratches, and warpage can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of sound quality.
Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs:
l
Use only compact discs with the mark:
l
Fingerprints, dust, and dirt should be carefully wiped off the disc's playing surface (shiny side) with
a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.
l
Never use chemicals such as record sprays, household cleaners or thinner to clean compact discs.
Such chemicals can irreparably damage the disc's surface.
l
Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.
l
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for extended periods.
