iPod® introduced as of January 2006. You can play any iPod® through the speakers of
this system, and charge the battery in your iPod®.

There’s a top mounted CD player that also handles CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. The built in
clock/timer allows you to wake to the radio, the CD player, and electronic buzzer,

Protect Your Furniture

This model is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from moving
when you operate the controls. These ‘feet’ are made from non-migrating rubber
material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture.
However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,or cleaning
sprays may cause the rubber ‘feet’ to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on
the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that
you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home
improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber
‘feet’ before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

Power Source

This system is designed to operate on 120V AC 60Hz house current only.
Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the system
and such damage is not covered by your warranty.

NOTE:

The plug will only fit into matching polarized AC outlets.

This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility
of electric shock. If the plug will not fit in your
AC outlets, you probably have an outdated non­polarized outlet. You should have your outdated
outlet changed by a qualified, licensed
electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the
plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit
into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature
and could expose you to electric shock.

The system has polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade.

NOTE

: The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the cabinet. Before
turning the unit upside down to install the back up batteries we suggest that you place
a towel or similar padding under the unit to avoid scratching the finish on the top panel
when the unit is upside down.

Open the battery compartment by pushing the battery
cover locking tab in the direction of the arrow and lifting
the battery compartment cover downward.

Install 2 “AAA” batteries in the battery compartment
according to the polarity markings engraved in the
compartment. If the batteries are inserted incorrectly
the battery back up system cannot function.

Installing The Back Up Batteries

This system includes a battery back up circuit that will maintain the clock and alarm
time settings in the event of a temporary power interruption. The battery back up
circuit requires 2 “AAA” or UM-4 batteries, not included. We recommend that you
install a well-known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance.
While it is not absolutely necessary to install the back up batteries it is strongly
recommended. If you do not install the back up batteries it will be necessary to reset
the clock and the alarm settings each time the system is unplugged, or whenever you
have an unexpected power interruption in your home.

Battery Precautions

• Replacement of batteries must be done by an adult.

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium)
batteries.

• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.

• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.

• Exhausted batteries are to be removed.

• Only batteries of the equivalent type are to be used.

• Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.

• Dispose of batteries properly. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries
may explode or leak.

After installing the batteries replace the battery compartment cover and make sure
that it is firmly locked in place.

CAUTION

DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED.

REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.
