CD CARE TIPS
Even though a CD is very durable, you
should handle it with care. We recom-
mend the following precautions.
• Keep the CD in its protective case
or sleeve when you are not play-
ing it.
• Handle a CD by its edges to avoid
fingerprints which can prevent the
CD player’s laser beam from
accurately reading the CD. Your
local RadioShack store sells a
suitable CD cleaner kit.
• Do not write on either side of the
CD, particularly the non-label
side. (Signals are read from the
non-label side.)
• Keep the CD dry. A water drop
can act as a lens and affect the
laser beam’s focus.
• If you park your vehicle in the sun,
temperatures inside the vehicle
can easily reach levels that could
damage your CDs. To prevent
heat damage, avoid leaving your
CDs in your vehicle.
If a CD skips when you try to play it, it
might be scratched. Your local Ra-
dioShack store sells a Scratch
,
n Fix
kit (Cat. No. 42-127) that might help
remove the scratch and stop the skip.

Page 25.
REPLACING A FUSE
If the stereo does not operate, you
might need to replace the red power
wire’s 1-amp 1
1 /
4
-inch fuse with the
supplied spare fuse (Cat. No. 270-
1005). If the clock resets or stored sta-
tions are lost when the ignition is off,
you might need to replace the 10-amp
blade-type fuse on the stereo’s back
panel with the supplied spare fuse
(Cat. No. 270-1081). Check both fus-
es.
Caution: Do not use a fuse with rat-
ings other than those specified here.
Doing so might damage your stereo.
Replacing the Red Power
Wire’s Fuse
1. Disconnect the cable from your
vehicle’s negative ( – ) battery ter-
minal.
2. Push together and twist the fuse
holder’s parts on the red power
wire until they spring apart. Then
remove the fuse.
