CARING FOR YOUR DELPHI CD AUDIO
SYSTEM
Clean the Delphi CD Audio System cabinet and con-
trols with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water
only. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder, or solvent, such as isopropyl alcohol or
benzene.
WARNING: Unplug the A/C power adaptor
during cleaning to avoid any electrical shock
hazard.
Precautions
CAUTION: Servicing of the Delphi CD Audio
System should be done by qualified personnel
only. In particular, do not disassemble the CD
player housing. The laser beam is harmful to the
eyes. Follow these additional safety precautions:
• Do not attempt to remove solid objects or
liquids that fall into the Delphi CD Audio
System. Discontinue operation, unplug the unit,
and consult qualified service personnel.
• Do not use non-standard compact discs (e.g.,
mini discs or square-, heart-, or star-shaped
discs) in the Delphi CD Audio System.
Attempting to use non-standard discs may
damage the unit.
Power Sources
• For A/C operation, it is recommended that only
the supplied A/C power adaptor be used. If
another adaptor is needed, make sure it is a
12V, 1800mA D/C adaptor with a unified polarity-
type jack.
• As long as the Delphi CD Audio System is
connected to the wall outlet, it will continue
to draw power, even if it is turned off.
• Unplug the A/C power adaptor from the wall
outlet when the Delphi CD Audio System is not
to be used for an extended period of time.
• The Delphi CD Audio System takes six D-size
(R20) batteries.
• When the batteries are not being used, remove
them. This will help avoid possible damage to
your Delphi CD Audio System from battery
leakage or corrosion. Batteries will discharge
slowly, even when the Delphi CD Audio System
is not being used. (New alkaline batteries will
discharge in approximately 30 days when left
unused in the Delphi CD Audio System.)
Placement
• Place the Delphi CD Audio System on a flat and
stable surface to reduce the risk of the unit
falling and breaking.
• Protect the Delphi CD Audio System from the
direct rays of the sun, which can damage the
unit.
• Keep spring-wound watches or personal credit
cards using magnetic coding away from the
Delphi CD Audio System. The strong magnets
used for the speakers can erase magnetic coding
and can impair watch function.
CAUTION: The two-inch-long bass response
ports on either side of the top tube on your Delphi
CD Audio System are designed to maximize airflow
to the speakers for improved bass response.
Inserting objects into these openings may impair
speaker function and can damage the unit.
Protecting From Water Damage
• Before opening or closing the Delphi CD Audio
System CD player or battery compartment cover,
be sure to wipe off any water, dust, or sand on
the outside of the unit.
• The supplied A/C power adaptor is not water-
resistant. To avoid electrical shock hazard, do
not use the Delphi CD Audio System near water
during A/C operation.
• Do not wash under running water. Water in the
headphone jack or other jacks and openings
may cause rusting and possible malfunction.
• Do not use soap or detergent.
• If the Delphi CD Audio System is splashed with
salt water or other liquid, wipe clean with a
damp cloth, then dry with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not dry with an electric hair dryer, as the
unit’s plastic parts are not rated to withstand the
high temperatures generated by hair dryers.
• When transferring the Delphi CD Audio System
from a cold location to a warm location, or when
placing it in a humid location, condensation may
form on the CD player lens. If this happens,
allow the moisture to evaporate for at least one
hour before inserting and/or playing a compact
disc.
CAUTION: The Delphi CD Audio System is not
designed to be immersed in water or other
liquids or come in continuous contact with water.
