adaptor or the battery pack. Failure to do so may cause a malfunction.
On Liquid Crystal Display
Although manufactured with high precision technology, the LCD may occasionally display dots of various colors. That is not a malfunction. Do not place or drop any object onto the LCD surface. Also, do not apply pressure from hands or elbows. Do not damage the LCD surface with a sharp edged tool.

On placement

Do not place the player in a confined space such as a bookshelf or similar unit. Do not cover the ventilation of the player with newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. And do not place the player on a soft surface, such as a rug. Do not place the player and adaptors in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, sand, moisture, rain, or mechanical shock, or in a car with its windows closed. Do not place the player in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only. Keep the player and discs away from equipment with strong magnet, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers. Do not drop or apply strong shock. Do not place heavy objects on the player and accessories.

On battery pack

Certain countries may regulate disposal of the battery used to power this product. Please consult with your local authority. Because of the batterys limited life, its capacity gradually deteriorates over time and repeated use. Purchase a new one when the battery holds about only half the normal period. The battery may not be charged to its fullest capacity when charged for the first time, or when it has not been used for a long time. The capacity recovers after being charged and discharged several times. Do not leave the battery pack in a car or direct sunlight, where temperature goes up above 60 C (140F). Do not expose to water. Avoid short-circuiting the battery connecting jacks with metal objects such as a necklace. Make sure dust or sand does not enter the battery connecting jacks and the guide holes located on the bottom of the player.

On operation

If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the player for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates. Wipe off moisture attached to the LCD surface with tissue etc. Turn on the power again later. Keep the lens on the player clean and do not touch it. Touching the lens may damage the lens and cause the player to malfunction. Leave the disc lid closed except when you insert or remove discs. Turn off the power before disconnecting the AC power adaptor, the car battery
