replace the back up batteries in their alarm clocks, clock radios, and smoke detectors too, at the beginning

Compact Disc Care
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding
it carefully by the edges.
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc s recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike
conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently
wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the
outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction
quality.
Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to
clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.
Care of the cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax or polish sprays on
the cabinet.
It the front panel becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned with a soft cloth slightly
dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never use abrasive cloths or polishes as these will mar
the finish of your unit.
Caution
Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while clean ing.
