CD-3450  (420-5042)         Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 7863

CD CARE

    If you move the CD player from a very cold room to a warmer one,
    moisture can condense on the pickup lens, preventing proper disc play.
    If this happens, wait 1 hour for the moisture to evaporate before
    resuming play.

    Do not place anything but a CD in the disc tray.  Doing so can damage
    the drive mechanism.

    During playback, a sudden shock or jolt could make the CD's rotation
    speed change suddenly and produce some noise.  This is not a
    malfunction.

    Always hold the CD by the edges and keep it in its protective case or
    sleeve when it is not in use.  Fingerprints and scratches on the CD's
    surface can prevent the laser beam from correctly reading the digital
    information.  If the CD gets scratched, use Scratch 'n Fix (Radio
    Shack Cat. No. 42-127) to keep the disc from skipping.

    Keep the CD dry.  A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser
    beam focus.  To clean the CD, use a CD cleaner kit (Radio Shack Cat.
    No. 42-116.)

CARING FOR THE CD-3450

    The Radio Shack CD-3450 Portable Compact Disc Player is an example of
    superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will
    help you care for the CD player so you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the CD player dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
    Liquids can contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits.

    Handle the CD player gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage the
    circuit board and case, and can cause the player to work improperly.

    Keep the CD player away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
    wear of parts.

    Wipe the CD player with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
    new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
    detergents to clean the CD player.

    Use and store the CD player only in normal temperature environments.

    Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices,
    damage batteries and distort or melt plastic parts.

Modifying or tampering with the CD player's internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate the CD players warranty and void your
FCC authorization to operate it.  If your CD player is not performing as
it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
