Safety Information

Caution: Long term exposure to loud music may cause

hearing damage. It is best to avoid extreme volume when
using headphones with this CD/MP3 player, especially for

English

extended periods.

Caution: Do not use this product with headphones when

operating a motor vehicle on a public road, or where the
inability to hear outside sounds may present a danger.

Caution: If you hear no sound when playing a disc, DO

NOT turn the volume up high because music could suddenly
start at high volume. Turn the volume control to the lowest
level before starting playback and slowly increase volume to
the desired level.

Note: If the CD/MP3 player is brought from a cold to a

warm location, moisture may condense inside, causing it to
stop working. Should this occur, remove the disc and leave
the player in a warm location for several hours to allow the
moisture to evaporate.

Note: Use the player with 2 AA batteries (LR06 alkaline).

The CD/MP3 player is not supplied with an AC adapter. Use
only a safety agency approved 4.5-6VDC with a minimum of
350mA AC adapter. Plus pole (+) to the center pin of the

3.5mm socket. When the unit is not used, be sure to
disconnect the AC power adapter.

batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries.

Battery life is 8-10 hours for audio CDs and 11-12 hours
for MP3-CDs.

Note: You can use rechargeable batteries (NiMH, composed
of nickel metal hydride, are recommended). They average half
the life of alkaline batteries. However, the low battery symbol
is not set for such batteries and will not be a reliable indicator
of their remaining battery life. Do not mix alkaline and
rechargeable batteries.
