CD Precautions  
• Near a heating device or a  
place where the temperature is  
high.  
If the CD is scratched, dirty, or  
incorrectly placed on the disc  
tray, it will not play properly.  
The remote control features  
six buttons, three of which are  
also located on the helmet itself.  
Those are PLAY, PAUSE and STOP  
and they function exactly as the  
buttons located on the unit. The  
other three buttons are unique to  
the remote control and provide  
for even more control over the  
CDs that you listen to.  
Damp or dusty areas.  
Bear in mind the following  
points since any dirt, scratches  
or warping of the disc can cause  
broker or intermittent sound and  
noise.  
Never use chemicals such as  
record sprays, anti-static sprays,  
benzene or cleaning fluid on  
your CDS.  
Should there be any finger-  
prints or other smudges on the  
playing surface of the CD  
(opposite the side with the label)  
wipe gently using a soft cloth  
making sure to wipe from the  
inside out or from the center of  
the CD to the outer edge.  
When holding a CD, try to  
keep your hands off of the play-  
ing surface. Hold the CD by its  
edges.
