REPLACING THE DC
ADAPTER’S FUSE
If the CD player stops operating, check
the fuse in the DC adapter’s cigarette-
lighter plug. If it has blown, follow these
steps to replace it with a 3-amp, 5 × 20
mm, fast-acting fuse such as Cat. No.
270-1054 (not supplied).
Caution:
Using a fuse that does not
meet these ratings can damage your CD
player or the vehicle’s electrical system.
1. Carefully unscrew the tip of the ciga-
rette-lighter plug.
2. Remove the old fuse and replace it
with the new fuse.
3. Screw the cigarette-lighter plug’s tip
back onto the body.
CD CARE TIPS
Even though a CD is very durable, you
should handle it with care.
• Keep the CD inside the CD player or
in its protective case or sleeve when
you are not playing it.
• Handle a CD by its edges to avoid
fingerprints that can prevent the CD
player’s laser beam from accurately
reading the CD. Your local Ra-
dioShack store sells a suitable CD
cleaner kit.
• Do not write on either side of the
CD, particularly the non-label side.
(Signals are read from the non-label
side.)
• Keep the CD dry. A water drop can
act as a lens and affect the laser
beam’s focus.
• Never use chemicals such as record
cleaning sprays, anti-static sprays
or fluids, benzene or thinner to clean
CDs. These chemicals will perma-
nently damage the plastic surface of
the CD.
• If a CD skips when you try to play
it, the CD might be scratched. Your
local RadioShack store sells a
Scratch ’n Fix kit (Cat. No. 42-127)
that might stop the skip. Also see
“Troubleshooting” on Page 19.
