Safety information

so that the system does not tilt.
Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused
by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or
splashing.
Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of
6 inches between the ventilation holes and
surrounding surfaces is necessary to prevent
heat build-up.
The ventilation should be impeded by cover-
ing the ventilation openings with items, such
as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc..
No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted can-
dles, should be placed on the apparatus.
The mechanical parts of the set contain 
self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled
or lubricated.
To clean the set, use a dry cloth. Do not use
any cleaning agents containing alcohol,
ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may
harm the housing.
Tape deck maintenance 
To ensure quality recording and playback of
the tape deck, clean parts A, B and C as

CD player and CD handling 
If the CD player cannot read CDs correctly,
use a cleaning CD to clean the lens before
taking the set to repair.
The lens of the CD player should never be
touched!
Sudden changes in the surrounding 
temperature can cause condensation on the
lens of your CD player. Playing a CD is then
not possible. Do not attempt to clean the
lens but leave the set in a warm environment
until the moisture evaporates.
Always close the CD-tape door to avoid dust
on the lens.
To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from
the center towards the edge using a soft,
lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as
they may damage the disc.

to it.
