Remember7
If you are driving through an area with bad coverage, each automatic re-tune
will result in short breaks or slight changes in volume in the audio source.
Signal reflected
When driving in built-up or mountainous areas, the signal may be affected.
Interference is normal and is not a fault in the radio.Using your CD player– Do not insert credit cards, coins or other objects inside the CD
unit.
– Do not insert irregular-shaped discs, discs with anti-scratch protection or discs with labels attached inside the unit.
– Do not insert DVDs, Dual-Disc, DVD+, Flip Disc as these contain large quantities of information and can not be read.
– Only use standard 12 cm diameter CDs.
– Some anti-copy CDs cannot be played in the unit.
– Store discs in their cases when not in use.
– Insert the CD into the unit until the mechanism automatically pulls it.
– Insert CD with the printed side facing upwards and at the correct angle into the front opening of the radio.
– Do not try to insert a CD when there is already a CD in the unit. – The radio is fitted with a disconnection protective device and
when the temperature of the CD unit is too high, the radio
switches to the last selected source.

– Normally CD-R/CD-RW discs have an operating temperature of -5 to 55ºC. Please, see the manufacturer specifications for the CD.Important for care– Do not use fluids such as benzene or solvents to clean CDs as these may scratch the surface of the disc.
– Use soft non-fray cloths and clean in straight lines from the centre to the outer edge. If dirt is very incrusted, use commercial
CD cleaners and check manufacturer information.
