CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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 improp-
erly.
Use and store the CD player only in normal temperature environ-
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de-
vices, damage batteries and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the CD player away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-
ture 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 deter-
gents 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 mal-
function and might invalidate the CD player’s warranty and void your FCC authori-
zation to operate it. If your CD player is not performing as it should, take it to your
local Radio Shack store for assistance.
