PRECAUTIONS
• When the set is not going to be used for a long time, unplug the AC lead and remove
the batteries.
• Do not leave exhausted batteries in the compartment as they will leak and cause
corrosion and damage.
• Never open the covers, touch the inside of the unit or insert metal objects. Any of
these actions could cause an electric shock or a fault.
• If you hear thunder, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. If the set is being used
outdoors, collapse the antenna and stop using the set.
• Collapse the antenna when carrying the set. If the set is carried with the antenna
extended, it could break.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, extreme heat, and high humidity, or place it
near heat sources, the sea, or in a sandy or dusty place.
• Do not clean the cabinet of the set with strong detergents or solvents as these could
damage the surface finish.
• We discourage the use of C-120 cassette tapes as they tend to break or jam the
device.
• The apparatus should not be exposed to liquid dripping or splashing.
• Discs which can be played on this player have the following mark on them:
• Do not move the set suddenly from a very cold room into a warm room. When a
chilled CD player is moved suddenly to a warm location, moisture condensation may
form on the pick-up lens, preventing proper operation. In this case, wait 1 to 2 hours
before resuming play.
• During playback, if the CD player is subjected to a sudden shock or jolt, some noise
may be produced, this is not a malfunction.
• Do not place any objects in the disc compartment. It may cause damage to the
mechanism.
• Whenever moving the set, first, be sure to remove the disc from it, If the player is
moved with the disc loaded, the disc may be damaged.
• Do not store discs in high temperature, high-humidity locations. The discs may warp
and become unusable. Also, discs with moisture on them may be unplayable. Wipe
any moisture off with a soft, dry cloth, and be sure discs are fully dry before using.
• Handle the discs carefully so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the surface
of the discs. To clean off, use a soft cloth. Do not use a hard cloth since it will scratch
the disc.
• If you switch on or off a fluorescent lamp which is placed near the set, you may hear
some interference noise; this is not a malfunction.
• Please do not use compact discs with cellophane or with labels attached or those
CD with peeled off stains, such as rental CD. If such discs were used on a CD player,
they may get trapped inside the unit and cause malfunction.
