Your Optimus CD-3720 Portable Compact Disc Player is an example of
superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help
you care for your 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.

  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.

  Handle the CD player gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage
  circuit boards and cases and can cause the CD player to work improperly.

  Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
  Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your CD player's electronic
  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.

  Always keep the charging terminals on the rechargeable batteries clean.
  Use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean the terminals.

Modifying or tampering with the CD player's internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty.  If your CD player is not
performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for
assistance.

CD CARE TIPS

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

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

  A scratch on the CD's surface can make the CD skip or stop playing.  If
  the CD gets scratched, use Scratch 'n Fix (Cat. No. 42-127) to repair
  the scratch.

  Always handle a 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.  To clean the CD, use a CD cleaner kit (such as Cat. No.
  42-226).

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