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
injure themselves as the free end of the
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.

Helpful hints:

–

To avoid unnecessary energy consumption,
always adjust the
after using the set.

About MP3

The music compression technology MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) significantly reduce
the digital data of an audio CD while

Getting MP3 files: you can either download

legal music files from the internet to your
computer hard disc, or create such files by
converting audio CD files in your computer
through appropriate encoder software.
(128kbps bit rate or higher is recommended
for MP3 files.)

Creating an MP3 CD: burn the music files

•

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

Helpful Hints:

– Make sure that the file names of the MP3

files end with .mp3 .

–

Total number of music files and albums:

around 400 (with a typical file name length
of 20 characters)

– The length of file names affects the number

of tracks for playback. With shor ter file
names, more files can be burned on a disc.

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,
lint-free 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.

• Do not cover the ventilation openings with
items such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur­tains, etc.

• No objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.

• No naked flame sources, such as lighted can­dles, should be placed on the apparatus.

• The mechanical parts of the set contain self­lubricating bearings and must not be oiled
or lubricated.

any cleaning agents containing alcohol,
ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may
harm the housing.
