CD and CD Player Care Tips

Although 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.

•Keep the CD clean. Your local RadioShack store sells a suitable CD cleaner kit.

•Keep the CD dry. A drop of mois- ture can act as a lens and affect the laser beam’s focus. If it gets wet, wipe the CD with a soft, dry cloth before playing it.

•Do not write on either side of a CD, especially the non-label side.

•Handle the CD by its edges to avoid fingerprints and surface scratches, which can prevent the laser from accurately reading the CD. If the CD gets scratched, use Scratch ’n Fix (RadioShack Cat. No. 42-127) to keep the CD from skipping during play.

•Do not store CDs in high-tempera- ture, high-humidity locations.

If the CD-3322 is subjected to a sud- den shock or jolt during play, the CD’s rotation speed might suddenly change, and the music might be briefly inter- rupted. This is not a malfunction.

Cautions:

•To avoid damaging the CD player, do not place anything but a CD in the CD compartment.

•Remove any loaded CD from the CD compartment before moving the system to avoid damaging the CD.

•Moving the CD-3322 suddenly from a cold place to a warmer one can cause moisture to form on the CD player’s pickup lens and dis- rupt operation. If this happens, unplug the CD-3322, then wait about an hour before plugging it back in and playing a CD.
