CD CARE TIPS
Even though a CD is very durable, you
should handle it with care. We recom-
mend the following precautions.
• Keep the CD in its protective case
or sleeve when you are not play-
ing it.
• Handle a CD by its edges to avoid
fingerprints which can prevent the
CD player’s laser beam from
accurately reading the CD. Your
local RadioShack 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.
• If you park your vehicle in the sun,
temperatures inside the vehicle
can easily reach levels that could
damage your CDs. To prevent
heat damage, avoid leaving your
CDs in your vehicle.
If a CD skips when you try to play it, it
might be scratched. Your local Ra-
dioShack store sells a Scratch
,
n Fix
kit (Cat. No. 42-127) that might help
remove the scratch and stop the skip.

REPLACING A FUSE
If the clock resets or stored stations
are lost when the ignition is off, you
might need to replace the yellow con-
tinuous power wire’s fuse with the
supplied spare fuse. If the stereo does
not operate, you might need to re-
place the red power wire’s fuse with
the supplied spare fuse. Check both
fuses.
1. Disconnect the cable from the
vehicle battery’s negative (–) ter-
minal.
2. To open the yellow continuous
power wire’s fuse holder, pull the
latches apart until it opens. Then,
if the fuse is blown, gently pull one
of the fuse holder’s wires up and
pull the fuse off of both wire clips
inside the fuse holder.
3. To open the red power wire’s fuse
holder, push together and twist
the fuse holder’s parts until they
spring apart. Then remove the
fuse if it is blown.
