Unpacking and Setup
• Carefully remove the unit from the display carton and remove all packing material from the unit itself.
• The detachable AC power cord is packed in the carton separately from the unit. Make sure that the AC
power cord is not accidentally discarded with the carton or packing material.
• Press the OPEN/CLOSE area to open the CD compartment door. There is a white card in the CD
compartment which is intended to prevent the CD pickup from moving during shipment of the product.
Remove this card from the CD compartment before use.
Power Sources
This portable audio system is designed to operate on either 120V AC 60Hz or by using six (6) ‘C’ batteries
(for CD and radio operation) and two (2) ‘AA’ batteries (for clock operation); batteries not included.
Attempting to operate this unit from any other power source may cause damage to the unit, which is not
covered by your warranty.
AC Operation
Unwind the AC cord and extend it to its full length. Insert the small end of
the AC cord into the AC socket on the rear of the unit. Insert the other
end of the AC cord into any convenient 120V 60Hz household outlet.
Please note that this unit is equipped with a polarized AC plug which has
one blade wider than the other. This is a safety feature to reduce the
likelihood of electric shock. This polarized AC plug will only fit in a
polarized AC outlet. If you find that you cannot insert this plug into your
outlet, you may have an obsolete non-polarized outlet. Please do not try to defeat this safety feature by
using a non-polarized adapter or by filing the wider blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug does not fit
into your outlet, you should contact a qualified licensed electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Battery Installation
To use this unit with battery power, remove the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit by sliding it
towards the rear of the unit and lifting the battery door off. Insert six (6) ‘C’ and two (2) ‘AA’ size batteries
following the diagram in the compartment.
NOTES:
• The AC power cord must be disconnected from the AC socket on the rear of the unit in order for the unit
to operate on battery power.
• Two ‘AA’ batteries are to keep the
time and alarm setting in case the
main power is interrupted. The
unit will function without these
batteries.
