Using the Controls of Your Compact Disc Radio (If equipped) Your Ford Compact Disc Radio is capable of playing 12 cm or 8 cm discs. The player operates when the power is on and a disc is inserted (label side up). Handle the disc by the edge only. Be sure to read and follow all of the care and cleaning instructions under How to Take Care of and Clean Your CD Player and Discs. The digital display on your CD player will either show the track (selection) number or the elapsed time. Select the display mode by pressing the "CLK" button. Indicators for play (a), stop (X), and compression (C) are also on the display. These features are described later. Once a disc is inserted, operation of the CD player will override the radio. NOTE: The volume, bass, treble, balance, and fader controls on the radio are also used with the CD player. Refer to the earlier operating instructions about these controls. Inserting a disc and beginning play Insert a disc, label side up, into the disc opening. When inserted, the disc automatically loads into the unit and play starts at the beginning of the first track (selection). NOTE: Once a disc is inserted, the disc opening is secured to prevent the accidental insertion of another disc. NOTE: The CD player has heat protection circuitry to protect the laser diode. If the temperature of the player reaches 167˚F (75˚C), the heat detection circuit will shut off the player and "CD HOT" will scroll in the display for approximately five seconds (radio will resume playing). When the temperature returns to normal operating range, the CD player will again be operational. 52
