CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The following suggestions will help you care for your CD/MP3 player so that
you can enjoy it for years.
1. Do not drop it into water or splash too much water onto it.
2. Keep the player dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might
contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
3. Use and store the player only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
4. Keep the player away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of
parts.
5. Handle the player gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards
and cases and can cause malfunction.
6. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Old
batteries can leak chemicals that damage the player’s electronic parts.
7. Wipe the player with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do
not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
player.
Modifying or tampering with the player’s internal components can cause a
malfunction and will invalidate its warranty.
CD/MP3 DISC CARE TIPS
Even though it is very durable, you should handle it with care.
• Keep the disc inside the player or in its protective case or sleeve when you
are not playing it.
• Handle it by its edges to avoid fingerprints that can prevent the player’s
laser beam from accurately reading it.
• Do not write on either side of it, particularly the non-label side. (Signals are
read from the non-label side.)
• Keep it dry. A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser beams focus.
• Never use chemicals such as record cleaning sprays, anti-static sprays or
fluids, benzene or thinner to clean it. These chemicals will permanently
damage the plastic surface of the disc.
