BATTERIES

POWER SUPPLY

Whenever convenient, use the mains supply if you want to conserve battery life. Make sure you remove the mains plug from the set and wall socket before inserting batteries.

Batteries (optional)

1.

Open the battery compartment and insert as shown six batteries, type R20, or D-cells.

2.

Replace the compartment door, making sure the batteries are firmly and correctly in place.

3.

Remove the batteries if exhausted or if they will not be used again for a long period.

Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.

– The incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage and

will corrode the compartment or cause the batteries to burst. Therefore:

– Do not mix battery types, e.g. alkaline with zinc carbonate. – When inserting new batteries, replace all batteries at the same

time.

Note:

The battery supply is switched off when the set is connected to the mains.

MAINS

1.

Check if the mains voltage as shown on the type plate (on the bottom of the set) corresponds to your local mains voltage. If it does not, consult your dealer or service organisation.

2.

If your set is equipped with a voltage selector, set it to the local mains voltage.

3.

Connect the mains lead to the MAINS socket and the wall socket. – The set is now ready to use.

4.

To switch off the mains supply completely, pull the mains plug out of the wall socket.

– Disconnect the mains lead when you change over to battery

supply, or to protect the set during heavy thunderstorms.

Environmental information

All redundant packaging material has been omitted. We have done our utmost to make the packaging easily separable into three mono materials: cardboard (box), expandable polystyrene (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if dissassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

PRECAUTIONS & GENERAL MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE

– Place the set on a hard, flat surface so that it does not tilt. – Do not expose the set, CDs, batteries or cassettes to humidity,

rain, sand, direct sunlight or other places where high temperatures can occur, such as in the vicinity of heating apparatus or in motor cars parked in the sun.

– Do not cover the set. The amplifier produces heat which must

dissipate freely, so make sure that there is sufficient ventilation around the set. A minimum gap of 15 cm is necessary.

– The mechanical parts of the CD player and the cassette deck

contain self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

– A chamois leather slightly moistened with water is sufficient

for cleaning the housing. Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives as these may harm the housing.

CD MAINTENANCE

– The lens of the CD player should never be touched. – The lens may cloud over if the set is moved from cold to warm

surroundings. The CD player will not start. Give the player some time to acclimatise.

– To take a CD out of its box, press the centre spindle while

lifting the CD. Always pick up the CD by the edge and replace the CD back in its box after use to avoid scratching and dust.

– To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from the centre towards

the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as they may damage the disc.

– Never write on a CD or attach stickers to it.
