The Car Power Adapter has two pieces. The first is the head unit that piugs directiy into your car cigarette lighter. A coiled cable is provided that plugs into the head unit. The other end of the cable is plugged directly into the "dc in" port on the Player.

I. Insert the stereo plug of the cassette adapter into the headphone jack of the Player.

C. Insert the cassette adapter into your car’s cassette tape player.

Position the windshield mount and apply pressure to allow the suction cups to secure firmly. Audiovox recommends placement in the center of the windshield to keep from obstructing

your view while driving.

Align the mounting slot in the rear of the Player with the windshield mount and slide on until the unit snaps into place. There is a small button on the rear left side of the Player that when

pressed will release the Player from the windshield mount - hold down release button while removing Player from the bracket.

If the mounting angle of the Player is not adequate, remove the mount from the windshield

and gently bend the metal of the mount to improve the angle on the windshield.

You are now ready to use your MP3J. Audiovox recommends that you set the Player volume at W and use the car radio volume control for the best sound. Experiment and find the best setdngs for you.
