INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

Note: The battery compartment is located on bottom cabinet.

1.) Slide the battery door in the direction of the ‘Arrow’ to open the battery door
and lift it up as shown.

2.) Insert two alkaline “ AA” batteries in the battery compartment. Be sure to observe
the polarity markings engraved on the battery door. If the batteries are inserted
incorrectly the unit will not work.

3.) Close the battery door, and push the battery door inward until you hear a ‘click’
sound to lock the door again.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

When the battery symbol flashes in the display the batteries are becoming
weak and should be replaced. Always replace both batteries at the same time with

new fresh alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of
batteries together.

If the display remains blank when you press the PLAY/PAUSE button, the
batteries are completely dead. Replace them immediately. If dead batteries are
left inside the battery compartment for a long period of time they may leak and
cause damage to the unit, and such damage or corrosion from leaking batteries is
not covered by your warranty.
