PRECAUTIONS
• When the set is not going to be used for a long time, unplug the AC lead and remove
the batteries.
• If a CD player is being operated while you are receiving a radio broadcast, you may
hear a noise with the broadcast. If so, turn the operative switch of the CD player [f]
[OFF].
• Do not leave exhausted batteries in the compartment as they will leak and cause
corrosion and damage.
• Never open the covers or touch the inside or insert a metal object. Any of these
operations could cause an electric shock or a fault.
• When thunder starts, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. If the set is being
used outdoors, shorten the antenna and stop using the set.
• Shorten 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 shall not be exposed to 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
develop warps and become unable to play. 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 these will
mark 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.
