DISC CARE

Treat the CD surface with care.  Handle a CD by the edges to avoid finger-
prints.  To clean the CD, use a Radio Shack CD Cleaner Kit.

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

CARE FOR THE CD-3360

The CD-3360 Compact Disc Player is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care for the CD
player so that you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the CD player dry.  If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately.
    Liquids can contain minerals that corrode the electronic circuits.

    Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type.  Always
    remove old or weak batteries.  They can leak chemicals that destroy
    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 dampened cloth occasionally to keep it
    looking new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
    detergents to clean the CD player.

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 the CD player is not performing as it
should, take it to your local Radio Shack store.  Our personnel can assist
you and arrange for service if needed.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

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

                 Compact
                  Disc
               Digital Audio

    This CD player has a wide dynamic range.  If you turn up the
    amplifier's volume too high during soft (low volume) parts of the
    music, you might damage the headphones or loudspeakers when a sudden
    loud passage occurs.

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

    If you move the player 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 drawer.  Doing so can damage
    the drive mechanism.

However, the equipment might cause TV or radio interference even when it
