Your CD-3445 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 cause 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 internal 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.
