CAREANDMAINTENANCE
The radio section of your new sound system does not require any maintenance. We recommend you keep this manual for reference on the many 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 handling will help you obtain maximum enjoyment of its capabilities. The following points should be observed:
lWhen cleaning the interior of the vehicle, do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.
lThe 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.
lIf 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.
lNever insert anything other than a 5" (12 cm) compact disc into the player as the mechanism can be damaged by foreign objects.
lDo not attempt to use 3" (8 cm)
lWhen 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.
lDo not attempt to open the unit chassis. There are no user serviceable parts or adjustments inside.
lWhen 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.
lThe 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.
HANDLINGCOMPACTDISCS
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. |
lFingerprints, dust, and dirt should be carefully wiped off the disc’s playing surface (shiny side) with a soft cloth.
lWipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.
lNever use chemicals such as record sprays, household cleaners or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
lDiscs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.
lDo not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for extended periods.
lDo not stick paper, tape, or labels on the disc surfaces nor write on them with any type of marker.
