Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution and
clean it, wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when handling
discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge
of the hole and the outer edge.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand most car washes
without being damaged. If the mast should ever become
slightly bent, you can straighten it
out by hand. If the
mast is badly bent, as it might be by vandals,
you should
replace it.

1. Turn on the ignition and radio to raise the antenna to
full mast extension.

equivalent solvent.

mast sections,

to be sure the mast is still
tightened to the fender,
If necessary, tighten the antenna with your hand until
snug and then use a wrench to tighten it another
1/4 of a
turn.
