Information on how to use a CD
CD to jump Uneven road surfaces and strong vibrations may cause the CD to jump.
Formation of condensation When it is cold and after rain showers, moisture can deposit in the CD drive (con-densation). This can effect the CD jump or impair the play function. In such caseswait until the moisture has dissipated.
Notes for the care of the CDs If a CD is soiled, please never clean the CD in the direction of a circle but ratherfrom inside to outside with a soft lint-free cloth. In case of severe layers of dirt werecommend to clean the CD with a commercially available CD cleaner. Also in thiscase do not clean the CD in the direction of a circle but rather from inside to out-side and then let it dry off.
Overheating protection If the temperature in the unit exceeds 85°C, the play function of the CD is endedfor safety reasons.
CAUTION
■Never use liquids such as gasoline, paint thinner or disk cleaner, otherwise thesurface of the CD could get damaged! ■Never expose the CD to direct sun rays!■Please never write or affix the CD!
Note
Dirt or damage of a CD can lead to difficulties when “reading” the information. The difficulty in reading the error depends on the dirt or on the severity of themechanical damage.
