system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the leadin wire to an antenna discharge product, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge product, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for grounding electrode.

PREPARATION FOR USE
Unpacking and Setup
• Carefully remove the unit from the display carton and remove all packing material from the unit itself.
• The detachable AC power cord is packed in the carton separately from the unit. Make sure that the AC
power cord is not accidentally discarded with the carton or packing material.
• Press the CD Door OPEN/CLOSE area to open the CD compartment door. There is a white card in the
CD compartment which is intended to prevent the CD pickup from moving during shipment of the
product. Remove this card from the CD compartment before use.
Power Sources
This portable audio system is designed to operate on either 120V AC 60Hz house current DC or by using
eight (8) ‘C’ batteries, not included. Attempting to operate this unit from any other power source may cause
damage to the unit, which is not covered by your warranty.
AC Operation
Unwind the AC cord and extend it to its full length. Insert the small end of
the AC cord into the AC power jack on the rear of the unit. Insert the
other end of the AC cord into any convenient 120V 60Hz household
outlet.
Please note that this unit is equipped with a polarized AC plug which has
one blade wider than the other. This is a safety feature to reduce the
likelihood of electric shock. This polarized AC plug will only fit in a polarized AC outlet. If you find that you
cannot insert this plug into your outlet, you may have an obsolete non-polarized outlet. Please do not try to
defeat this safety feature by using a non-polarized adapter or by filing the wider blade to make it fit into your
outlet. If this plug does not fit into your outlet, you should contact a qualified licensed electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet.
Battery Installation
To use this unit with battery power, remove the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit by sliding it
towards the rear of the unit and lifting the battery door off. Insert eight (8) ‘C’ size batteries following the
diagram in the compartment.
NOTE: The AC power cord must be disconnected from the AC power jack on the rear of the unit in order for
the unit to operate on battery power.

Caring for Compact Discs
• Treat the disc carefully. Handle the compact disc only by its
edges. Never allow your fingers to come in contact with the
shiny, unprinted side of the compact disc.
• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the compact
disc label.
• Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry
cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean
the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
• If a compact disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact disc, it is probably dirty or damaged
(scratched).
• When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the compact disc to the outer
edge of the compact disc. Never wipe in circular motions.
• This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the identification logo as shown here.
Other discs may not conform to the CD standard and may not play properly.
• Compact Discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.
• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures, or dust, etc. Prolonged
exposure or extreme temperatures can warp the disc.
• Do not stick or write anything on either side of the disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the ink may damage
the surface.
