CD player and CD handling
• Do not touch the lens A of the CD player.
• Do not expose the unit, batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive
heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).
• You can clean the CD player with a soft, slightly
dampened, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning
agents as they may have a corrosive effect.
• To clean the CD, wipe it in a straight line from the

cleaning agent may damage the disc! Never write on
a CD or attach a sticker to it.
• The lens may cloud over when the unit is moved sud-
denly from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD is not possible then.

and it is illegal in many countries. Even if your headphones are an open-air type
designed to let you hear outside sounds, do not turn up the volume so high that you
cannot hear what is going on around you.
