Notes: - Avoid excessive heat from the car heating or from direct sunlight (e.g. in a parked car in the summer).

• Do not touch the lens (A) of the CD player.
• Do not expose the set, batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).
• You can clean the CD player with a soft, slightly dampened lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect.

• The lens may cloud over when the set is moved suddenly from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD is not possible then. Leave the CD player in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
  Active mobile phones in the vicinity of the CD player may cause malfunctions.
• Avoid dropping the set as this may cause damage.

Environmental information

• All redundant packing material has been omitted. We have done our utmost to make the packaging easily separable into three mono materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).
• Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packing materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.
