in use or move it away from the affected radio tuner.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply within the limits for a class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

.

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.

SAFETY CERTIFICATION

This Compact Disc Player is made and tested to meet safety standards of the FCC, requirements and
compliance with safety performance of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and also with
FDA Radiation Performance Standards 21 CFR Subchapter J.

LASER SAFETY

This unit employs an optical laser beam system in the CD mechanism,
designed with built-in safeguards. Do not attempt to disassemble;
refer to qualified service personnel. Exposure to this invisible laser
light beam may be harmful to the human eye.

INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN
OPEN AND INTERLOCK FAILED OR
DEFEATED. AVOID DIRECT EXPO­SURE TO LASER BEAM.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

2. Do not expose to excessive heat, direct sunlight, dust, moisture, vibration or shock.

3. Use ONLY the AC adaptor required; others may damage your unit. Disconnect from the wall outlet
when the set is not to be used for an extended period of time.

4. When cleaning your unit, use a soft dry cloth, do not use solvents or commercially available cleaners
as they may damage or discolor the finish.

5. Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle, this could create a traffic hazard and is
illegal in many areas.

6. The headphones supplied with your unit provide superior stereo listening while allowing you to hear
outside sounds when listening at normally low volume levels. Listening at extremely high volume levels
minimizes the intrusion of outside noise/sounds.

7. If you notice that the sound has become weak or distorted, this is an indication that your batteries are
low. Replace with new or recharged batteries. (see “BA TTERY OPERA TION ” )

THIS IS A CLASS-1 LASER PRODUCT. USE OF CONTROLS, OR
ADJUSTMENTS OR PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECI­FIED HEREIN, MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS LASER LIGHT BEAM

3. After 15 hours, unplug the AC adaptor (not
included) and switch the Charge Switch to
the OFF position.

DO NOT CHARGE CONTINUOUSLY FOR
24 HOURS OR MORE. DOING SO CAN
CAUSE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY TO
DETERIORATE.

4. If the operating time decreases drastically even when the rechargeable nickel­cadmium batteries are properly recharged, purchase a new set of rechargeable
nickel-cadmium batteries. Dispose of nickel cadmium according to local envi­ronmental laws.

5. When charging new batteries or if the batteries have not been charged for a
long time, playing time may be reduced. In this case, charge and discharge the
batteries several times.
NOTE:

- Do not attempt to recharge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or expose to
fire.

- Do not mix battery types. (e.g. alkaline with zinc carbonate).

- When inserting new batteries, replace all at the same time. Do not mix old
and new batteries.

- Weak batteries can leak and severely damage the unit.

CAR KIT

DC CAR ADAPTER/CORD

The supplied DC car adapter/cord is designed for
use with vehicles equipped with a 12 volt nega­tive ground electrical system only. The equip­ment is compatible if the negative (-) terminal of
the battery is connected to the vehicle’s metal
body/chassis. If unsure, contact the vehicles’s
dealer.
Plug the small end of the car adapter into the DC
6V jack and then plug the other end into the
cigarette lighter socket. The indicator light will
illuminate red when powered on.

PRECAUTIONS

!

USE ONLY THE SUPPLIED DC CAR ADAPTER/CORD. OTHER ADAPT­ERS COULD DAMAGE THE PLA YER.

!

IF THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE’S CIGARETTE LIGHTER SOCKET IS
DIRTY , THE PLUG MAY BECOME HOT AS A RESUL T OF POOR ELECTRI­CAL CONT ACT. BE SURE IT IS CLEAN BEFORE USE.

!

AFTER USE, DISCONNECT THE CORD’S PLUGS FROM THE PLAYER
AND THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER.

!

SHOULD THE PLAYER CAUSE INTERFERENCE TO NEARBY RADIO,
INCREASE THE DIST ANCE BETWEEN PLAYER AND RECEIVER.

FUSE REPLACEMENT

Should the player fail to operate with the DC car
adapter/cord, check the fuse (1-Amp). If blown,
check all connections and inspect the cord for
any damage. Always replace the fuse with same
type and rating.
If the fuse blows again after replacement, this
indicates a potential problem. DO NOT replace
the fuse with a higher rating. Doing so may cause
damage to the player.
