ALARM CLOCK

IN-CAR CONNECTION

25

Only use the AY 3545 car
voltage converter (4.5 V, DC,
positive pole to the center pin)
and the AY 3501 car cassette
adapter. Any other product may
damage the unit.

1 Put the CD player on a

horizontal, vibration-free and
stable surface. Make sure it
is in a safe place, where the
player is neither a danger nor obstacle to the driver and passengers.

2 Connect the DC plug of the voltage converter to the 4.5V DC jack of the CD player

(only for a 12 V car battery, negative grounding).

3 Insert the voltage converter into the cigarette lighter jack. If necessary, clean the

cigarette lighter jack to obtain a good electrical contact.

4 Turn down the volume and connect the cassette adapter plug to the LINE OUT/p

jack of the CD player.

5 Carefully insert the cassette adapter into the car radio’s cassette compartment.

6 Make sure the cord does not hinder your driving.

7 Start the CD player, set VOL E to position 8 and adjust the sound with the car

radio controls.

• Always remove the voltage converter from the cigarette lighter jack when the
CD player is not in use.

Notes: – Avoid excessive heat from the car heating or from direct sunlight (e.g. in a

parked car in the summer).

– If your car radio has a LINE IN jack, it is better to use it for the car radio

connection instead of the cassette adapter. Connect the signal lead to this
LINE IN jack and to the LINE OUT/p jack of the CD player.
