■Never expose the CD to direct sunlight.■Only write on the CD with appropriate writing tools.■
Do not stick anything to the CD!
Note
■Poor or unpaved road surfaces and severe vibrations may cause the CD to jump.■Damp (condensation) may affect the device in cold weather or after showers.
This can lead to playback jumps or impair the play function. In such cases, wait
until the moisture has dissipated.■
If a CD is dirty, it should never be cleaned using a circular motion, but rather
from the inside out. Use a soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning. In the case of heavy
contamination, we recommend cleaning the CD with a standard CD cleaner and
leaving to dry.

In certain circumstances, CDs protected by copyright or self-made CD-Rs and
CD-RWs may not play, or may only play to a limited extent.
■
The national copyright laws that apply in your country must be observed.

The CD player does not include any parts that need to be serviced or repaired. In
the case of a defective CD player, please visit a specialist garage.

loading.
Due to differing quality requirements from different card manufacturers, it is not
always possible to guarantee the playback from SD memory cards.
It may not be possible to play some or all files on the SD memory card, or their
playback may be limited.
CAUTION
■ Only use one-part SD memory cards. If using an SD memory card with an adapt-
er (multipart SD memory cards), vehicle vibrations can cause the SD memory card can fall out of the adapter while driving, and individual card parts can remainstuck in the device.■
We recommend using SD memory cards of class 4 and higher. This guarantees
the fastest possible access to the audio files.
■
Always store the SD cards in suitable cases to protect them from dirt, dust and
other forms of damage.
