Safety

To ensure that this device provides you with long-term satisfaction and
enjoyment, please observe the following instructions:

This device is designed for the playback of audio signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.

You must make sure that the device is protected from moisture such as rain
or water splashes.

When deciding where to place the device, please note that furniture surfaces
are covered by various types of varnish and plastic, most of which contain
chemical additives. These additives can corrode the device supports, leaving
residues on the furniture surfaces which can be difficult or impossible to
remove.

Never touch the lens on the device.

The device contains self-lubricating bearings, which must not be oiled or
greased.

Condensation may form on the lens if the device is taken into a warm room
from the cold. This prevents it from playing a CD.

Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on
the lens.

Never open the device casing. The manufacturer accepts no liability for
damage resulting from improper handling.

Maintenance

If the device is unable to scan CDs perfectly, use a standard commercially
available cleaning CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may
damage the laser optics.

To clean a CD, breathe on it and wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth from the
middle towards the edge.

Clean the device with a clean, moist leather cloth. Do not use cleaning
agents, as these may damage the casing or the CD.

Environmental note

As little material as possible was used for packaging your device.
It can be divided into two separate materials: cardboard (box) and
polyethylene (bag).
Please observe the local regulations for disposing of the packing material.

Batteries, including those which are heavy metal-free, may not be disposed
of with household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an environ­mentally sound manner. Find out about the legal regulations which apply in
your area.

Mains operation (with mains adapter)

Note:

Check if the mains voltage on the mains adapter type plate corresponds
to your local mains supply.
The only way to disconnect the device from the mains supply is to
unplug the adapter. Only unplug the mains adapter from the socket
when you are not using the device.

1 Plug the mains adapter cable into the »DC IN 6V« socket on the

device.

2 Insert the mains adapter plug in the socket.

Battery operation

1 Unplug the mains adapter from the device and remove the cover of the

battery compartment on the bottom of the device.

2 Insert two batteries, observing the polarity on the bottom of the battery

compartment (Mignon type, e.g. 2x1.5V, LR6, AM3; AA).

Note:

Remove the batteries when they are flat or when you know that the
device will not be used for a long period of time. No liability is accepted
for damage resulting from leaking batteries. The batteries are switched
off during mains operation.
When changing the battery, plug in the adapter and the »CD RADIO«
switch to »CD«. Otherwise the contents of the memory will be deleted
after 30 seconds.

Using Nickel-Cadmium batteries

When using Nickel-Cadmium batteries (NiCd, size AA 1,2 V/
600 mAh), use the mains adapter supplied as a charger. If the batteries
named are in the battery compartment, the device switches over automati­cally from network to battery operation.

1 Take off the cover of the battery compartment on the bottom of the

device.

2 Insert two batteries, observing the polarity marked on the bottom of the

battery compartment.

3 Plug the mains adapter into the »DC IN 6V« socket on the device and

plug the mains adapter onto the mains socket.
– The »CHARGE« indicator lamp lights up.

Note:

When buying NiCd batteries, always make sure that approximately 3
mm of the metal end at the negative pole is visible (see illustration). If
necessary, use a knife to remove the insulation.
Completely charge up the batteries before you first use them or if you
have not used them for a long time.
The charging time is approximately 12-14 hours. Using the device while
the batteries are charging increases the charging time.

You can also connect the earphones directly to the device. If you do this,
however, the remote control will not work.

Excessive volume can be dangerous to yourself and other road users.
Listen at a volume which still allows you to hear outside noises such as
horns, emergency vehicles and police cars.

This portable CD player with headphones meets the requirements set
out in Articles LL44.5 and 6 of the German safety regulations.
The output of the device guarantees the best possible sound at medium
volume. Prolonged listening at loud volumes can damage your hearing.

Adjust the volume

with » VOLUME g « on the device or »gVOL«

on the remote control.
