Unpacking & Inspecting

Exercise extreme care when unpacking the ICE System. Make a visual inspec-
tion of the unit for evidence of damage incurred during shipment. If a claim for
damage is to be made, the unit must be returned in the original packaging.

Precautions

Thermal Protection Circuit

Be sure the temperature inside the aircraft is between –10°C (14°F) and +60°C
(140°F) and before attempting to use this system. If the temperature is over
+60°C (140°F), the protection circuit functions to stop operation of the system,
and “HI TEMP” is displayed.

Damaged Discs

Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or damaged discs. Playing a bad disc
will cause skipping and could cause severe damage to the playback mechanism

Irregular Shaped Discs

Make sure the discs you use in this unit do not have any irregularities. The outer
and inner edges should be round and smooth. Use of irregular shaped discs may
cause damage to the mechanism.

Proper Disc Handling

Handle your disc as carefully as possible. Do not drop the disc while handling.
Hold the disc so you will not leave fingerprints on the surface. If the surface is
scratched, it may cause the pickup to skip. Do not affix tape, paper, or gummed
labels on the disc. Do not write on the disc.

Caution for New Discs

When a newly-purchased disc is inserted into the disk slot, the disc may fail to
play after initial loading. This is caused by small bumps around the center hole
and the outside of the disc, which prevent stable loading into the correct position.
To remove the bumps, rub the inside edge of the hole and the outside edge with
a ball point pen or other such instrument, and then insert the disc again.
