selected frequency. If no buttons are pressed during the scan, the unit will return to the original station before the scan started.

Pressing and holding the button for longer than 2 seconds will activate the Auto-Store Tuning feature which will automatically scan and enter up to 6 stations into the pre-set memories on each FM band. If you have already set the pre-set memories to your favorite stations, activating the Auto-Store Tuning feature will erase those stations and enter the new ones. This feature is most useful when traveling in a new area where you are not familiar with the local stations.

bq STATION PRE-SET MEMORIES

To set any of the 6 pre-set memories in each band, use the following procedure:

1.Turn the radio on and select the desired band.

illumination levels as selected by the PWR/ILL button 1.

bs POWER LEVEL METER DISPLAY

This display consists of a left and right six- bar graph which provides a visual representation of the audio signal level applied to the left and right channels. The illuminated segments of the left and right channel bar graphs increase and decrease as a function of the audio signal strength applied to the left and right channels. As the signal increases, the number of illuminated segments will increase and vice-versa.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The radio section of your new sound system does not require any maintenance. We recommend you keep this manual for reference on the many features found in this unit as well as how to set the clock.

The compact disc player section also requires no routine maintenance, but proper understanding of its use and handling will help you obtain maximum enjoyment of its capabilities. The following points should be observed:

lWhen cleaning the interior of the vehicle, do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.

lThe CD player is a precision instrument and will not operate properly in extreme hot or cold. In case of such conditions, wait until the interior temperature of the vehicle reaches a normal temperature before using the player.

lIf the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a protective circuit will automatically stop play of the disc. In this case, allow the unit to cool off before operating the player again.

lNever insert anything other than a 5" (12 cm) compact disc into the player as the mechanism can be damaged by foreign objects.

lDo not attempt to use 3" (8 cm) CD-Single discs in this unit, either with or without an adaptor, as damage to the player and/or disc may occur. Such damage will not be covered by the Warranty on this product.

lWhen not using the disc player, always remove the compact disc.

MAINTENANCE NDA RECA

16

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

17

lWhen the vehicle warms up during cold weather or under damp conditions, moisture may condense on the lens of the disc player. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly until the moisture has evaporated.

lThe unit is designed with a vibration dampening CD mechanism to minimize interruption of disc play due to normal vibration in a moving vehicle. When driving on very rough roads, however, occasional sound skips may occur. This will not scratch or damage the disc and normal play will resume when the rough conditions cease.

HANDLING COMPACT DISCS

Dirt, dust, scratches, and warpage can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of sound quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs:

lUse only compact discs with the mark:

lFingerprints, dust, and dirt should be carefully wiped off the disc???s playing surface (shiny side) with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.

lNever use chemicals such as record sprays, household cleaners or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals can irreparably damage the disc???s surface.

lDiscs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.

lDo not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for extended periods.

lDo not stick paper, tape, or labels on the disc surfaces nor write on them with any type of marker.
