(3) In the following circumstances, moisture can form on
compact discs and inside the audio system, prevent-
ing normal operation.
²When there is high humidity (for example, when it
is raining).
²When the temperature suddenly rises, such as right
after the heater is turned on in cold weather.
In this case, wait until the moisture has had time to
dry out.
(4) When the CD player is subjected to violent vibra-
tions, such as during off-road driving, the tracking
may not work.
(5) When storing compact discs, always store them in
their separate cases. Never place compact discs in
direct sunlight, or in any place where the temperature
or humidity is high.(6) Never touch the flat surface of the disc where there
isn't a label. This will damage the disc surface and
could affect the sound quality. When handling a
compact disc, always hold it by the outer edge and
the center hole.
(7) To clean a disc, use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Wipe
directly from the center hole toward the outer edge.H12F090
