MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Cabinet
Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the cloth with a weak
solution of neutral detergent and water, and then wipe clean.
Cleaning the Lens
A dirty lens will cause sound skipping and, if the lens is very dirty, the CD may not
work. Open the disc cover and clean the lens as below.
• Dust or Dry Particles
Using a camera lens brush/blower, blow on
the lens a couple of times, then wipe it lightly
with the brush to remove dust. Then, blow on
the lens once more.
• Fingerprints
If the lens cannot be cleaned by using a brush/
blower, use a dry cotton swab starting in the
middle and working to the outside edge.
HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
This unit is designed to play only compact disc bearing the
identification logo below. Other disc may not conform to the CD
standard and may not play properly.
• Dirty, scratched or warped disc may cause
skipping or noise.
• Handle the disc only by the edges. To keep
clean, do not touch its surface.
• Discs should be stored in their cases after use
to avoid serious scratches.
• Do not expose disc to direct sunlight, high
humidity, high temperatures or dust etc. Pro-
longed exposure to extreme temperatures can
warp the disc.
• Do not stick or write anything on either side of
disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the inks used
in some felttip pens, may damage its surface.
Remove the disc
Hold the edge and gently press the centre pivot
as illustrated, to pick up the disc.
CAUTION:
Wait for the disc to stop rotating before pressing
the OPEN button.
Note: This unit can play 3" (8cm) single CD's
without an adaptor. Do not use a CD single
adaptor for these discs.

Rechargeable Battery Operation
This unit can fully recharge the specified rechargeable battery, in approximately

insert two of the recommended recharge-

Note: Charge indicator will illuminate.
3. After 15 hours, please unplug the AC
adaptor and switch the Charge Switch to
the OFF position.

4. If the operating time decreases drastically even when the rechargeable nickel-
cadmium batteries are properly recharged, purchase a new set of rechargeable
nickel-cadmium batteries.

In this case, charge and discharge the batteries several times.
