DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

We declare under our sole responsibility that this product, to which this dec­laration relates, is in conformity with the following standards:
EN60065, EN55013, EN55020, EN60555-2 and EN60555-3.
Following the provisions of 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC and 93/68/EEC Direc­tives.

IMPORTANT

The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a moulded plug
incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the
plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an AST A or BSI approved BS1362
fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never
use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required,
ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse
covers are available from your dealer.

DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not
suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a
power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or
consult your dealer.

Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this must be carried out by
a competent person, preferably a qualified electrician.

If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose
of it immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

code:

Blue: NEUTRAL
Brown: LIVE

As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or
RED.

On no account connect either of these wires to the terminal marked E or by
the earth symbol

PRECAUTIONS

• When the set is not going to be used for a long time, unplug the AC lead and remove
the batteries.

• Do not leave exhausted batteries in the compartment as they will leak and cause
corrosion and damage.

• Never open the covers, touch the inside of the unit or insert metal objects. Any of
these actions could cause an electric shock or a fault.

• If your hear thunder, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. If the set is being
used outdoors, collapse the antenna and stop using the set.

• Collapse the antenna when carrying the set. If the set is carried with the antenna
extended, it could break.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, extreme heat, and high humidity, or place it
near heat sources, the sea, or in a sandy or dusty place.

• Do not clean the cabinet of the set with strong detergents or solvents as these could
damage the surface finish.

• We discourage the use of C-120 cassette tapes as they tend to break or jam the
device.

• The apparatus should not be exposed to liquid dripping or splashing.

• Discs which can be played on this player have the following mark on them:

• Do not move the set suddenly from a very cold room into a warm room. When a

chilled CD player is moved suddenly to a warm location, moisture condensation may
form on the pick-up lens, preventing proper operation. In this case, wait 1 to 2 hours
before resuming play.

• During playback, if the CD player is subjected to a sudden shock or jolt, some noise
may be produced, this is not a malfunction.

• Do not place any objects in the disc compartment. It may cause damage to the
mechanism.

• Whenever moving the set, first, be sure to remove the disc from it, If the player is
moved with the disc loaded, the disc may be damaged.

• Do not store discs in high temperature, high-humidity locations. The discs may warp
and become unusable. Also, discs with moisture on them may be unplayable. Wipe
any moisture off with a soft, dry cloth, and be sure discs are fully dry before using.

• Handle the discs carefully so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the surface
of the discs. T o clean of f, use a soft cloth. Do not use a hard cloth since it may scratch
the disc.

• If you switch on or off a fluorescent lamp placed near the set, you may hear some
interference noise; this is not a malfunction.

• Please do not use compact discs with cellophane tapes or with labels attached, or
those CD with peeled off stains, such as rental CD. If such discs were used on a CD
player, they may get trapped inside the unit and cause malfunction.
