We suggest using a special cleaning disk (not included) available in most music and Hi-Fi stores. However, if you do not have one, you may use the instructions below. Handling Compact Discs Dirty, scratched or warped discs may cause skipping or noise. Handle the disc only by the edges. To keep clean, do not touch its surface. Use a cotton swab very slightly dampened with alcohol to clean the lens. Cleaning the cabinet Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen (not dripping wet) the cloth with a weak solution of soapy water, and then wipe clean. Discs should be stored in their cases after use to avoid scratches. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures, or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can warp the disc (such as leaving the discs in your car during summertime). Do not stick or write anything on either side of disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the inks used in some felt-tip pens, may damage its surface. Cleaning the Discs Fingerprints should be carefully wiped from the surface of disc with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic dirt, so gently wiping them with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the center to the edge. To remove the Disc Open the CD DOOR by pressing the DOOR OPEN button, hold the disc by the edge while slightly pressing on the center spindle as illustrated, then lift it from the edge to release and remove. NOTE Never use thinner, benzine, record cleaner or antistatic spray on a compact disc. Such chemicals can damage its plastic surface. Always press STOP button and wait for the disc to stop rotating before pressing the DOOR OPEN button to remove the disc. 7 Do not take the set apart. The laser beam used in the set may harm your eyes. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel only. Do not insert pins or coins, clips, or any objects inside the set. This set is equipped with a safety device which automatically turns the laser beam off when the disc door is opened. Do not drop the set or subject it to strong shocks. Doing so could result in damage. Do not place the set in locations where the temperature is high, or in humid or dusty locations, or locations with long heavy vibrations, or tilted surfaces. The sets cabinet may warp or the set may otherwise be damaged if it is placed in direct sunlight, near heaters (where the temperature is 140 0F/60 0C or higher) or in cars with the windows closed. In the summer, the temperature may get as high as 2120F /100 0C or more. Use the set within a temperature range of 41 0F/ 5 0C to 95 0F / 35 0C. Use ONLY the DC 4.5V 600mA AC Adaptor with polarity , others may damage your set. Disconnect the Adaptor from the wall outlet when the set is not to be used for an extended period of time (3 days or more). When cleaning your set, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use solvents or commercially available cleaners, as they may damage or discolor the finish. Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle. This could create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. Do not use this set when bicycling or running. The headphones supplied with your set provide superb stereo listening while allowing you to hear some outside sounds when listening at normally low volume levels. Listening at extremely high volume levels minimizes the intrusion of outside noise/sounds. In the interest of safety, it is strongly advised against the use while engaging in activities where the exclusion of external sounds (whistles, horns, sirens, traffic, etc.) could be hazardous. Also loud volume can hurt your ears. If you notice that the sound has become weak or distorted or if tracks do not change, this is an indication that your batteries are low. Replace both batteries at the same time (see BATTERY OPERATION). Your CD-50 is identified by a serial number located in the Battery Compartment. Record this number in the space provided below. Model CD-50 Serial No. Date Purchased: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This booklet contains detailed information on its safety and use. Please read it carefully so that you may take full advantage of its many features, and ensure a safe reliable operation. Keep this booklet for future reference. CONDENSATION If cold water is poured into a glass, water droplets form on the outside of the glass. This is called condensation. Condensation may occur on internal operating parts of the lens. Condensation occurs: When the set is brought from the cold outdoors into a warm room, or if it is in a cold room to a room which is heated, or in the summer, if the set is moved from an airconditioned room or car to a hot or humid location. Should condensation occur, the set may not operate properly. Open the CD Door and wait for about 20 minutes (to allow the internal parts to adjust to the surrounding temperature) before using the set. 8 IMPORTANT INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE FCC Since the CD circuitry may cause interference to other radios nearby, switch this set off when not in use or move it away from the affected radios.
