• Always handle a CD by the edges to
avoid fingerprints and always keep it in
its protective case or sleeve when it is
not in use. Fingerprints and scratches
on the CD's surface can prevent the
laser beam from correctly reading the
digital information. If the CD gets
scratched, use RadioShack Scratch 'n
Fix to repair the disc.
If the radio is subjected to a sudden shock or
jolt during play, the CD's rotation speed
might be briefly interrupted. This is not a mal-
function.
