Power Supply General Operation

Power Supply

Whenever convenient, use the power supply

cord if you want to conserve battery life.
Make sure you remove the plug from the
set and wall outlet before inserting batteries.

Batteries (not included)

1 Open the battery door and insert 6 batteries,

type R-14, UM-2 or C-cells, (preferably
alkaline) with the correct polarity as indicated
by the "+" and "–" symbols inside the
compartment.

2 Replace the battery door, making sure the

batteries are firmly and correctly in place. The
set is now ready to operate.

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

• Incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte
leakage and will corrode the compartment or
cause the batteries to burst:

• Do not mix battery types: e.g. alkaline with
carbon zinc. Only use batteries of the same type
for the set.

• When inserting new batteries, do not try to mix
old batteries with the new ones.

• Remove the batteries if the set is not to be used
for a long time.Using AC power

WARNING: Always check you have
completely switched off the set, before
you change or disconnect power supply.

1 Check if the power voltage, as shown on

the type plate located on the bottom
of the set, corresponds to your local

power supply. If it does not, consult your
dealer or service center.

2 Connect the power cord to the AC

MAINS~ inlet and the wall socket. The set

is now connected and ready for use.

3 To switch the set off completely, withdraw

the power cord from the wall socket.

4 Install the unit near the AC outlet and

where the AC power plug can be easily
reached.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall
socket to protect your set during heavy
thunderstorms. Children could seriously

cable may still be live if only the connector
is removed from the MAINS socket at the
back of the unit.

The type plate is located on the bottom
of the set.

from your computer hard disc on a CDR or
CDRW using your CD burner.

Maintenance & Safety

(See 8)

CD player and CD handling

• If the CD player cannot read CDs correctly,
use a cleaning CD to clean the lens before
taking the set to repair.

• The lens of the CD player should never be
touched!

• Sudden changes in the surrounding
temperature can cause condensation on the
lens of your CD player. Playing a CD is then
not possible. Do not attempt to clean the lens
but leave the set in a warm environment until
the moisture evaporates.

• Always close the CD door to avoid dust on
the lens.

• To clean the CD, wipe in a straight line from
the center towards the edge using a soft, lint­free cloth. Do not use cleaning agents as they
may damage the disc.

• Never write on a CD or attach any stickers
to it.

Safety information

• Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface

so that the system does not tilt.

• Where the MAINS plug or an appliance
coupler is used as the disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily
operable.

• Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused
by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

• The apparatus shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.

• Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap
of 15cm (6 inches) between the ventilation
holes and surrounding surfaces is necessary to
prevent heat build-up.
