• When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the  
system to output poor sound quality. To clean the lens  
you will need to purchase a CD lens cleaner which can  
maintain the output sound quality of your system. For  
instructions on cleaning the CD lens, refer to the ones  
accompanying the lens cleaner.  
• Remove the batteries to avoid leakage if you do not  
use your remote control for more than one month.  
Discard leaky batteries immediately as leaking batteries  
may cause skin burns or other personal injuries. Dispose  
of batteries in the proper manner, according to  
provincial and local regulations. Any battery may leak  
electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if  
inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at  
the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is  
made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.
