CD CARE TIPS

Even though a CD is very durable, you should handle it with care. We recom- mend the following precautions.

•Keep the CD in its protective case or sleeve when you are not play- ing it.

•Handle a CD by its edges to avoid fingerprints which can prevent the CD player’s laser beam from accurately reading the CD. Your local RadioShack store sells a suitable CD cleaner kit.

•Do not write on either side of the CD, particularly the non-label side. (Signals are read from the non-label side.)

•Keep the CD dry. A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser beam’s focus.

•If you park your vehicle in the sun, temperatures inside the vehicle can easily reach levels that could damage your CDs. To prevent heat damage, avoid leaving your CDs in your vehicle.

If a CD skips when you try to play it, it might be scratched. Your local Ra- dioShack store sells a Scratch ,n Fix kit (Cat. No. 42-127) that might help remove the scratch and stop the skip. See also “Troubleshooting” on Page 25.

REPLACING A FUSE

If the stereo does not operate, you might need to replace the red power wire’s 1-amp 11/4-inch fuse with the supplied spare fuse (Cat. No. 270- 1005). If the clock resets or stored sta- tions are lost when the ignition is off, you might need to replace the 10-amp blade-type fuse on the stereo’s back panel with the supplied spare fuse (Cat. No. 270-1081). Check both fus- es.

Caution: Do not use a fuse with rat- ings other than those specified here. Doing so might damage your stereo.

Replacing the Red Power Wire’s Fuse

1.Disconnect the cable from your vehicle’s negative (– ) battery ter- minal.

2.Push together and twist the fuse holder’s parts on the red power wire until they spring apart. Then remove the fuse.
