PREPARATION FOR USE

AC Outlet

UNPACKING AND SET UP

• Carefully remove the unit from the display carton and remove all packing material

from the unit.

• Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length.

• Unwind the FM Antenna wire and extend it to its full length.

• Place the unit on a stable, level surface, convenient to an AC outlet, out of

direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, humidity, or strong magnetic fields.

• Connect the plug to your AC outlet.

POWER SOURCE

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

NOTE:

This unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. This plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC outlet. This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If this plug will not fit in your AC outlet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized outlet. You should have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician.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.

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 c leaning 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.

IMPORTANT: Raising And Lowering The CD Door

This system includes a motorized CD door. Always press the CD Door OPEN/ CLOSE button on the front panel to raise or lower the CD door. To avoid damaging

the cabinet, the door or the door opening mechanism never attempt to open or close the CD door by hand.
