CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The radio section of your new sound system does not require any maintenance. We recommend
that 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:
! When cleaning the interior of the vehicle, do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.
! The CD player is a precision instrument and will not operate properly in extreme heat or
cold. In case of such conditions, wait until the interior temperature of the vehicle reaches a
normal temperature before using the player.
! If 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.
! Never insert anything other than a 5" (12 cm) compact disc into the player as the
mechanism can be damaged by foreign objects.
! Do not attempt to use 3" (8 cm) CD-Single discs in this unit, either with or without an
adaptor, as damage to the player and/or disc may occur. Such damage will not be covered
by the Warranty on this product.
! When 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.
! Do not attempt to open the unit chassis. There are no user serviceable parts or adjustments inside.
! When 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.
! The 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:
! Use only compact discs with the mark
! Fingerprints, dust, and dirt should be carefully wiped off the disc’s playing surface (shiny side)
with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.
! Never use chemicals such as record sprays, household cleaners or thinner to clean
compact discs. Such chemicals can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
! Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.
! Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for extended periods.
! Do not stick paper, tape, or labels on the disc surfaces nor write on them with any type of marker. 17
