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

POWER SOURCES

Power this CD player by inserting 2 size “AA” fresh alkaline batteries, or connecting
an optional AC adaptor, or using the provided Cigarette Lighter adaptor.

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 10 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 500mA (or greater), with PLUS center polarity (see

page 6 for sketch). Others may damage your player. Please check voltage (V) and
current (mA) before buying an AC adaptor. If you can not find the suitable AC
Adaptor in the market, please send an $8.00 money order (this includes shipping
and handling) to our customer service center to order the adaptor (please also mark
the model number of your player): LENOXX ELECTRONICS CORP., 35

BRUNSWICK AVENUE, EDISON, N.J. 08817, USA.

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.

60 SECOND ANTI-SKIP PROTECTION SYSTEM

This set is designed with the latest 60 second Anti-skip Protection - which allows
virtually unlimited gentle skip protection above the normal 60 second skip protection.

The 60 second Anti-skip Protection function prevents the sound from skipping by
using a buffer memory that stores music data. This new 60 second Anti-skip Protection
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. The Anti-skip Protection function may not work during heavy jogging.

The 60 second Anti-skip Protection 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.

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

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the lens

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.

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.

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.

Scratched Discs

If your disc is badly scratched, it will not
play. You may be able to repair the disc
if you buy a disc polisher.

To remove the Disc

Open the CD DOOR by sliding the
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.

Never use thinner, benzine, record

•

cleaner or antistatic spray on a compact
disc. Such chemicals can damage its
plastic surface.

IB-CD896(CDX85KR-60B3)-WM-E-111605.pmd 7/7/2006, 12:26 PM14

NOTE:

Always press the STOP/OFF button and
wait for the disc to stop rotating before
sliding the DOOR OPEN button to
remove the disc.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 CD 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 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 500 mA AC adaptor with polarity , others
may damage your 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 your 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 your 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 your batteries are weak. Replace both batteries at the same time (see Using with
Batteries).
Your CD-896 is identified by a serial number stuck inside the battery compartment.
Record this number in the space provided below.

Model CD-896

This manual contains detailed information on its safety and use. Please read it carefully
so that you may take full advantage of its many features, and ensure a safe reliable
operation. Keep this manual for future reference.

Serial No. Date Purchased:

CONDENSATION

If cold water is poured into a glass, water droplets form on the outside of the glass. This
is called condensation. Condensation may occur on internal operating parts of the lens.
Condensation occurs:
When the set is brought from the cold outdoors into a warm room, or if it is in a cold
room to a room which is heated, or in the summer, if the set is moved from an air­conditioned room or car to a hot or humid location.
Should condensation occur, the set may not operate properly. Open the CD DOOR
and wait for about 20 minutes (to allow the internal parts to adjust to the surrounding
temperature) before using the set.
