CD CARE TIPS

Even though a CD is very durable, you should handle it with care.

•Keep the CD inside the CD changer or in its protective case or sleeve when you are not playing it.

•Handle a CD by its edges to avoid fingerprints that can prevent the CD changer’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.

•Never use chemicals such as record cleaning sprays, anti-static sprays or fluids, benzene or thin- ner to clean CDs. These chemi- cals will permanently damage the plastic surface of the CD.

•If a CD skips when you try to play it, the CD might be scratched. Your local Ra- dioShack store sells a Scratch ’n Fix kit (Cat. No. 42-127) that might stop the skip. Also see “Troubleshooting” on Page 37.
