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 two 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 11 hours of continuous CD play and 5
hours longer for radio use.
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 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 1: The radio may work normally for about 5 hours when “” shows or flashes
NOTE 2: You may use rechargeable batteries on this set. However, because
“”
in the display indicating batteries are too weak for CD play, but still OK for the
radio.
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.

Use the volume control of your stereo system to adjust the volume because the
VOLUME button on this player has no effect on the output level when used with the
LINE OUT jack.
NOTE 2:
To insure that the headphones are not accidentally put into the LINE OUT jack, we
have covered this jack with a plastic plug. You may leave this small plug in the LINE
OUT jack for normal headphone use. To connect your CD player to your home
stereo, simply grasp this plug with your fingernails, and remove it to expose the LINE
OUT jack.
NOTE 3:
If you plug the headphones into the LINE OUT jack, the music may be very low even
if the VOLUME control is at maximum.
Make sure you plug the headphones into the green PHONES jack only.

This set is designed with the latest 60 second ESP PLUS
- Which allows virtually unlimited gentle skip protection above the normal skip
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 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.
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.

the headphones wire during FM play may affect reception of weak stations.
When using the LINE OUT jack to connect with home stereo, the line out cable can
also be used as FM antenna. To have better FM reception, it is also recommended
to insert the headphones and adjust its position, for use as the FM antenna.

NOTE 2:
Slide the MONO/STEREO switch to MONO can reduce the noise and improve the
effect of the FM reception, because stereo broadcasts are weaker by nature.
NOTE 3:
This set uses an analog (rotary) tuner with a digital display. The digital display is very
useful when locating your favorite station and also assists you to pinpoint the exact
tuning frequency. This set does not have radio memory presets.
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
•
causeskipping 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.
Open the CD DOOR by sliding the DOOR
OPEN switch, 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 DOOR OPEN button to
remove the disc.

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.). 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).
