Care and Maintenance

Your Optimus CD-8400 101-Disc Compact Disc Changer is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the CD changer so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the CD changer dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can con- tain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.

Handle the CD changer gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the circuit boards and case and can cause it to work improperly.

Use and store the CD changer only in normal temperature environments. Tem- perature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries in the remote control, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the CD changer away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.

Wipe the CD changer with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the CD changer.

Modifying or tampering with the CD changer’s internal parts can cause a mal- function and might invalidate your CD changer’s warranty. If your CD changer is not working as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

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 which 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. (Sig- nals 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 a CD skips or the CD changer displays Υ1 when you try to play it, it might be scratched. Your local RadioShack store sells a Scratch ’n Fix kit (Cat. No. 42-

127)that might help remove the scratch and stop the skip. See also “Trouble- shooting” on Page 16.
