PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE!!
This system 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 m arks 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 selfadhesive 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.

attempt to operate the radio on any other power source. You could cause damage to the unit
and void your warranty.
Please be sure the power outlet you plug this unit into is working and receives constant power.
A. BATTERY OPERATION
1. Remove the BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER.
2. Following the polarit y diagram as shown inside the battery compartm ent insert 6 x ‘ C' (UM-2)
batteries (not included) then replace the BATTERY COMPARTMENT COVER.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the batteries are installed correctly. Wrong polarity may
damage the unit.
3. Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
4. For better performance and longer operating time, we recommend alkaline-type batteries.
5. Do not mix old and new batteries.
6. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the output sound of this unit becomes distorted or the CD player operation appears
unstable, the batteries are weak. You need to replace all the exhausted batteries at the same
time as soon as possible to avoid battery leakage.

IMPORTANT:
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 t he 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probably have an outdated non-polarized outlet.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have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed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 onto your outlet. This def eats the
safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.
