Power Supply
Whenever convenient, use the power supply if you want to conserve battery life. Make sure you remove the plug from the set and wall outlet before inserting batteries.
Batteries (not included)
Open the battery compartment and insert eight batteries, type R-14, UM-2 or C-cells, (preferably Alkaline) with the correct polarity as indicated by the "+" and "–" symbols inside the compartment.
Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.
Incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage and will corrode the compartment or cause the batteries to burst. Therefore:
• Do not mix battery types: e.g. alkaline with carbon zinc. Only use batteries of the same type for the set.
• When inserting new batteries, do not try to mix old batteries with the new ones.
• Remove the batteries if the set is not to be used for a long time.
Using AC Power
1 Check if the power voltage, as shown on the type
plate located on the bottom of the set, corresponds to your local AC power supply. If it does not, consult your dealer or service center.
2 Connect the power cord to the AC MAINS inlet and
the wall outlet. The power supply is now connected and ready for use.
3 To switch off completely, unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet to protect your set during heavy thunderstorms.

Precautions & General Maintenance
• Place the set on a hard and flat surface so that the system does not tilt.
• Do not expose the set, batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
• Do not cover the set. Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of 6 inches between the ventilation holes and surrounding surfaces is necessary to prevent heat build-up.
• The mechanical parts of the set contain self­lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.
• To clean the set, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may harm the housing.
CD player and CD handling
• The lens of the CD player should never be touched!
• Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause condensation to form and the lens of your CD player to cloud over. Playing a CD is then not possible. Do not attempt to clean the lens but leave the set in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
• Always close the CD door to keep the CD compartment dust-free. To clean, dust the compartment with a soft dry cloth.
• To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from the center towards the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as they may damage the disc.
• Never write on a CD or attach any stickers to it.
