READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR HEADPHONES
The portable CD player is one of the most exciting and innovative
consumer electronics products ever developed. With it you can
now enjoy listening to your favorite music wherever you go,
through the supplied headphones .
But, for YOUR comfort, health and safety be sure to observe the
following guidelines.
HEARING COMFORT & WELL-BEING
Do not play your headphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against
•
continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
•
TRAFFIC SAFETY
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and
•
is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially
•
hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones are an open-air type designed to let you hear outside
•
sounds, do not turn up the volume so high that you can not hear what is around you.
Power your CD player by connecting an optional AC ADAPTOR or by inserting 2
size “AA” fresh alkaline batteries.
1. USING WITH BATTERIES
Insert 2 size “AA” alkaline batteries according
to the + and markings on the bottom of the set.
NOTE:Player will not work, and batteries will be
drained, if batteries are not inserted as
shown on the bottom of the set.
TIPS ON BATTERY USE
Reversing polarities will damage the batteries and possibly your set. Be sure
•
to follow polarity ( + and ) as indicated.
Do not mix different types together (Alkaline, Carbon-Zinc, Nickel-Cadmium
•
etc.), or old batteries with new ones.
When not in use for an extended period of time, or while internal batteries will
•
not be used, remove them to prevent possible acid leakage or corrosion
resulting in damage to your player.
When the batteries have become discharged, they must be disposed of in a
•
safe manner that complies with all applicable laws.
Installation of batteries should only be done by an adult (for safety).
•
ALKALINE BATTERY LIFE
Bear in mind that battery life expectancy is based upon volume and bass listening
levels. Maximum battery power consumption happens at maximum settings. Typical
life for 2 size “AA” alkaline batteries is about 9 hours of continuous CD play.
2.AC ADAPTOR (OPTIONAL)
Before you buy an optional AC Adaptor, please note, the only AC ADAPTOR suitable
for this player is DC 4.5V 600mA (or greater), with PLUS center polarity
(see page 3 for sketch). Others may damage your player. Please check voltage and
current (mA) before buying an AC ADAPTOR. If you can not find the suitable AC
Adaptor in the market, please send a $8.00 money order (included shipping andhandling) to our customer service center to order the adaptor (please also mark the
model number of your player): LENOXX ELECTRONICS CORP., 2 GERMAK DRIVE,
CARTERET N.J. 07008
WHEN
While the CD is playing, if the alkaline batteries are weak or discharged, this symbol
“” shows or flashes in the display, then the power automatically turns off. If this
occurs, replace both alkaline batteries (also if the display does not show anything,
the batteries are dead).
NOTE: You may use rechargeable batteries on this set. However, because
SHOWS IN THE DISPLAYY
rechargeable batteries generally have lower voltage (1.2 volts instead of
1.5 volts). Your playing time will be much less than normal fresh alkaline
batteries.
The LINE OUT jack is made to accept a stereo mini plug (3.5mm). Simply connect
the cable’s mini plug to the LINE OUT jack on your player, and the other appropriate
end usually RCA JACKS to the CD/AUX INPUTS of your home stereo.

This set is designed with the latest 60 second ESP PLUS
Protection) - which allows virtually unlimited gentle skip protection above the normal
60 second shock protection.
The 60 second ESP PLUSTM function prevents the sound from skipping by using a
buffer memory that stores music data. The new 60 second ESP PLUSTM system can
store more music than normal 60 second anti-skip systems.
This new design allows gentle swaying of the set (as in walking) without music
skipping. This function (CD ESP PLUSTM) may not work during heavy jogging.
The 60 second ESP PLUSTM function will turn on automatically when the PLAY/
PAUSE button is pressed.
When the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed, the “” (memory
basket) indicator will appear in the display, the digital data
(music) is stored in the “read-ahead” memory buffer before it
is decoded and played. It may take a while for the basket to fill.
The “” mark changes to the “” mark, indicating that the
memory buffer (basket) is full.
TM
(Electronic Skip
EMPTY MEMORY
When the set is subject to a shock or a bump during play, the
•
data stored in memory continues to be decoded and played.
This gives the pickup time to stabilize and continue reading
new music. As the data is used from memory, the indicator
changes from “” to “”. Once the pickup returns to its
original position, new data is stored in memory and the display
changes back to the “” mark.
If the set is subject to repeated shocks and all the data stored
•
in memory is used up, the “” mark is displayed and the
sound will skip or stop for a brief period until the memory
basket has time to fill up again.
NOTE:
- The music may stop if the player receives continuous shocking.
- You may hear noise or skipping if the CD is dirty or scratched.
-If you press SKIP/SEARCH ( or ) buttons, the memory
A dirty lens will cause sound skipping. If
the lens is very dirty, the player may not
work. We suggest using a special
cleaning disk (not included) available in
most music and Hi-Fi stores. However,
if you do not have one, you may use a
cotton swab very slightly dampened with
alcohol to clean the lens.
Cleaning the cabinet
Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is
very dirty, dampen (not dripping wet) the
cloth with a weak solution of soapy water,
and then wipe clean.
Handling Compact Discs
Dirty, scratched or warped discs may
•
cause skipping or noise.
Handle the disc only by the edges. To
•
keep clean, do not touch its surface.
Discs should be stored in their cases
•
after use to avoid scratches.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight,
•
high humidity, high temperatures, or
dust, etc. Prolonged exposure to
extreme temperatures can warp the
disc (such as leaving the discs in your
car during summertime).
Do not stick or write anything on either
•
side of disc. Sharp writing instruments,
or the inks used in some felt-tip pens,
may damage its surface.
Cleaning the Discs
Fingerprints should be carefully wiped
•
from the surface of disc with a soft
cloth. Unlike conventional records,
compact discs have no grooves to
collect dust and microscopic dirt, so
gently wiping them with a soft cloth
should remove most particles. Wipe
in a straight motion from the center to
the edge.
Never use thinner, benzine, record
•
cleaner or antistatic spray on a
compact disc. Such chemicals can
damage its plastic surface.
To remove the Disc
Open the CD DOOR by sliding the CD
DOOR OPEN button, hold the disc by the
edge while slightly pressing on the center
spindle as illustrated, then lift it from the
edge to release and remove.
NOTE:
Always press the STOP/OFF button and
wait for the disc to stop rotating before
sliding the CD DOOR OPEN button to
remove the disc.
Do not take the set apart. The laser beam used in the set may harm your eyes.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel only.
Do not insert pins or coins, clips, or any objects inside the set.
This set is equipped with a safety device which automatically turns the laser beam
off when the disc door is opened.
Do not drop the set or subject it to strong shocks. Doing so could result in damage.
Do not place the set in locations where the temperature is high, or in humid or dusty
locations, or locations with long heavy vibrations, or tilted surfaces.
The set’s cabinet may warp or the set may otherwise be damaged if it is placed in
direct sunlight, near heaters (where the temperature is 1400F/600C or higher) or in
cars with the windows closed. In the summer, the temperature may get as high as
2120F/1000C or more.
Use the set within a temperature range of 410F/50C to 950F/350C.
Use ONLY the optional DC 4.5V 600mA AC Adaptor with polarity , others
may damage this set. Disconnect the Adaptor from the wall outlet when the set is not
to be used for an extended period of time (3 days or more).
When cleaning this set, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use solvents or commercially
available cleaners, as they may damage or discolor the finish.
Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle. This could create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas. Do not use this set when bicycling or running.
The headphones supplied with this set provide superb stereo listening while allowing
you to hear some outside sounds when listening at normally low volume levels.
Listening at extremely high volume levels minimizes the intrusion of outside noise/
sounds. In the interest of safety, it is strongly advised against the use while engaging
in activities where the exclusion of external sounds (whistles, horns, sirens, traffic,
etc.) could be hazardous. Also loud volume can hurt your ears. If you notice that the
sound has become weak or distorted or if tracks do not change, this is an indication
that the batteries are low. Replace both batteries at the same time (see USING
WITH BATTERIES).
