Portable CD Player
(420-5068)                 Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 38514


Your CD-3530 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 might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic
    circuits.

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

    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.

    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 only fresh batteries of the required size and type.  Always remove
    old or weak batteries.  They can leak chemicals that destroy
    electronic circuits.

Modifying or tampering with the CD player's internals components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate the CD player's 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 

FCC INFORMATION

This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as
specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules.  These limits provide reasonable
protection against radio and TV interference in a residential area.
However, your equipment might cause TV or radio interference even when it
is operating properly.  To eliminate interference, you can try one or more
of the following corrective measures;

    Increase the distance between the equipment and the radio or TV.

    Use outlets on different electrical circuits for the equipment and the
    radio or TV.

Consult your local Radio Shack store or an experienced radio/TV technician
if the problem still exists.

LASER SAFETY

This unit employs a laser light beam.  Only a qualified service person
should remove the cover or attempt to service this device, due to possible
eye injury.

    Warning:

    The use of controls or adjustments, or the performance of procedures
    other than specified herein, can result in hazardous exposure to laser
    light.

CD PLAYER TIPS

    CDs that can be played on this player have this mark on them:

    COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO

    If you move the CD-3530 from a very cold room to a warmer one,
    moisture can condense on the pickup lens, preventing proper disc play.
    If this happens, wait 30 minutes before resuming play.

    Do not place foreign objects in the disc tray.  This can damage the
    drive mechanism.

CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISCS

    Even though CDs are very durable, treat them with care.

    Do not write on either side of a CD, particularly the non-label side.
    (Signals are read from the non-label side.)

    Do not store CDs in high-temperature, high-humidity locations.
    The CDs might warp.

    Keep the CD dry.  A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser
    beam's focus.

    Always keep the CD in its protective case or sleeve when it is not in
    use.  Always handle a CD by the edges to avoid fingerprints or
    scratches on the playing surface, which can prevent the laser beam
    from correctly reading the digital information or create a "skipping"
    sound.

    To remove fingerprints and clean the CD surface, use a CD cleaner kit
    (such as Cat. No. 42-226).

    to repair scratches on the CD surface, use a CD scratch repair kit
    (such as "Scratch 'n Fix," Cat. No. 42-127).
