Getting Started with Your Jukebox

This chapter provides basic information about using your jukebox. Read this chapter to learn how to:

■ Charge the battery

■ Turn your jukebox on and off

■ Use the control panel

■ Use the LCD

Charging the battery

Your jukebox has a built-in Lithium-Ion battery. It is not necessary to fully charge or completely discharge the battery power each time. However, you may want to fully charge the battery to maximize playing time.

To charge the battery:

1 Open the cover over your jukebox’s power connector. For the

location of the power connector, see “Left” on page 8.

2 Connect the AC adapter to your jukebox’s power connector.

3 Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet. As the battery charges,

the battery icon on the LCD animates. When fully charged, the icon no longer animates and Battery Charging Complete is displayed on the LCD.

Important You can listen to your jukebox as it charges,

but it will take longer to charge.

Using the power switch

Use the power switch to turn your jukebox on and off and to lock the controls. For the location of the power switch, see “Top” on page 6.
