Your unit comes with 2 rechargeable NiMH 1400mAh (1.2V) batteries that can be recharged directly from within the player.

The rechargeable batteries should be recharged

TIP

before they are used for the first time or if they have not been used for a long period of time.

GETTING STARTED

USING THE AC ADAPTOR

1. Plug the player's AC adaptor into an electrical power outlet.

2. Plug the AC adaptor jack into the player's DC IN

4.5V jack. The player is in standby mode when the AC adaptor is connected.

Using the AC adaptor will help to save on batteries.

TIP

NOTE

Turn the unit off before plugging or unplugging the AC adaptor. Should you notice any abnormality in the AC adaptor, disconnect it from the electrical socket and player immediately.

Always use the supplied AC adaptor that is

NOTE

designed specifically for the player only. Using any other AC power adaptor may cause the unit to malfunction and increase the risk of fire or injury.

USING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

The option of using rechargeable batteries to operate the player instead of the AC adaptor provides added flexibility and portability to use the unit almost anywhere without being restricted by cables.

In a non-controlled environment, many factors

NOTE

can affect battery life, such as volume, LCD backlight and temperature. When batteries are not used for a long period of time, remove them to save battery power.

To insert the rechargeable batteries into the player:

1. Push against the tab of the battery compartment cover, then pull the battery cover upward to open.

2. Insert 2 NiMH batteries (supplied) into the compartment according to the polarity indicators and close the battery cover.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

1. Slide the player's HOLD OFF CHG switch to the CHG position. If the AC adaptor is already plugged

into the player, the batteries should begin charging from the player and the charging LED indicator on the unit lights up red.

2. Charging is complete after approximately 15 hours. The LED indicator turns off to indicate the batteries are finished charging. Unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet and the DC IN 4.5V jack.

3. To take the rechargeable batteries out from the compartment, press against the "-" end of each battery. The "+" end of the batteries will lift up, allowing you to easily pull out the batteries.

Playtime may be shorter than usual after

NOTE

(NiMH) can be recharged. Do not attempt to charge other types of batteries. The LED indicator will not light up when charging rechargeable batteries that are not designed for use with player.

may not be displayed if you are using rechargeable batteries that are not designed for this player.

DDM328 Eng R9 OP 5/9/05, 10:01 AM6

Rechargeable batteries have a service life of

NOTE

approximately 300 charge-discharge cycles. The batteries have reached the end of their operational life if they last for a noticeably shorter time after recharging.

USING AA BATTERIES (OPTIONAL)

1. External battery pack connector

Why is the player not playing CDs?

The player's lid may not be closed properly or may be raised slightly when LR6, AA, UM-3 batteries are inserted in the battery compartment. Ensure the disc is secured in place, changing to the right type of batteries if necessary.

EQUALIZER

The player is equipped with a 5-band equalizer that allows you to experiment with different sound options depending on the kind of music being played back.

Repeatedly press the button on the Speaker Dock to toggle between the different sound options shown on the display: Normal (default), Classic, Pop, Jazz and Rock.

The last option chosen is automatically saved for playback until a new option is selected.

USING THE PLAYER WITH AN AUDIO SYSTEM

Using a stereo connection cable (not supplied), you can listen to CDs being played on the player through an audio system.

1. Turn off the player and your audio system before connection.

2. Connect the stereo connection cable from the lineout jack on the unit to the audio-in jack on the audio system.

3. Use your player as normal. Since audio is broadcast through the audio system's speakers, ensure that volume level on your audio system is set to an acceptable level.

The player may not be properly inserted into the Speaker Dock. Reinsert the player, making sure it makes contact with the 12-pin connector in the Speaker Dock's slot-in mechanism.

The disc may be dirty. Clean it with a soft, lint-free cloth and try playing the disc again. If it still does not play, this may mean it is scratched or is not of the CDDA format that is compatible with the player.

There may be excess moisture condensed inside the player's lens, or on the 12-pin connector. Leave the player turned off for a few hours until moisture evaporates, then turn on.

The player is powered on but why is the player or Speaker Dock emitting noisy background? Or why is no sound being emitted at all?

Your headphones may be defected, or the volume level on the external audio system or Speaker Dock may be too low. Check to see that the headphones and the line remote plugs have been inserted as far as they will go.

Data signal interference or static electricity may disrupt the signal reception from the audio source. Power off the player or Speaker Dock, wait a few seconds, and turn the unit back on. Make sure the unit is not near any mobile phones, TVs or tuners.

The external speakers of the Speaker Dock may be dirty or damaged. Have the unit serviced by a qualified Oregon Scientific dealer.

When the player is connected to an audio

NOTE

system, it cannot be docked into the Speaker Dock.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy any difficulties you may be experiencing while using the player or Speaker Dock. Should any problem persist after you have checked these symptoms, consult your nearest Oregon Scientific dealer.

Why does the unit not power on at all or the power keeps turning off after turning on?

The plugs and jacks may be dirty, affecting the connections. Ensure the AC adaptor is cleaned and plugged into the power outlet and other connections are firmly established.

The rechargeable or AA batteries in the player may have run out of power or are not correctly aligned with their polarity. Re-install batteries checking the polarity; if the unit still does not operate, insert new batteries into the unit.

DDM328 Eng R9 OP 5/9/05, 10:02 AM13

Why is the player or Speaker Dock not responding when the buttons are pressed?

Check that the player or the line remote is in not in HOLD mode. Keep in mind that the HOLD function for both devices work independently of one another. While the HOLD function is actively turned on for the player but is not actively turned on for the line remote, you will be able to control the player functions from the line remote.

Remove and reconnect the AC power plug or reinsert new batteries and switch the player and / or Speaker Dock on again, checking that the power is on. If there is still no response, the buttons on the player, line remote or Speaker Dock may be damaged. Take the unit to a qualified Oregon Scientific dealer for servicing.

Why does the disc not play starting with the first track?

The random play mode may be turned on. Ensure this option is turned off.

Why does it take the player or Speaker Dock a longer time to access and playback MP3 / WMA CDs?

MP3 / WMA CDs require a longer time to access tracks than audio CDs due to the nature in which MP3 / WMA files are stored on the CD and also by the number of directories, if any. The more files and directories, the longer the access time.

Why is the player or Speaker Dock not playing tracks according the order in which they are programmed to playback?

After selecting the tracks for playback, you may have forgotten to press the INFO / PROG button (on the player or Speaker Dock) to store the selected tracks (or directory in the case of MP3 / WMA CDs). Or, the wrong track may have been accidentally selected to save into programmed memory. Repeat your selection of tracks.

Why is sound playback skipping even though the ESP function is activated?

When the disc is dirty or scratched, contains certain signals, or subject to an extreme shock impact, audio playback may skip despite ESP function being turned on. Under these circumstances, try releasing the ESP function. Ensure the disc is clean, not scratched and avoid subjecting the unit the extreme shock impact.
