CONNECTIONS

Connecting headphones (supplied)

(signal lead) or your car radio (adapter cassette or
signal lead). In both cases, the volume of the CD
player has to be set to maximum position (iOj.

Use your head when using headphones

Hearing safety: Do not play your headphones at a high volume. Hearing experts
advise that continuous use at high volume can permanently damage hearing.
Traffic safety: Do not use headphones while driving a vehicle. It may create a
hazard and it is illegal in many countries. Even if your headphones are an open-air
type designed to let you hear outside sounds, do not turn up the volume so high
that you cannot hear what is going on around you.

CONNECTIONS

Connections for in-car use {supplied or optional available)

1 Find a safe place for the

CD player on a horizontal,
vibration-free and stable
surface where it is no
danger to or in the way of
the driver or passengers.

2 Connect the DC plug of the

voltage converter to the DC
socket of your CD player

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

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

cigarette lighter socket to obtain a good electrical contact.

4 Turn down the volume and switch off the autoreverse function (if present) of

your car radio cassette player.

Notes on In-car Use:

GENERAL INFORMATION

Maintenance

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

Do not expose the CD player, batteries or CDs to rain and
dampness, sand and dust or to excessive heat caused by
heating equipment, or to direct sunlight

The lens may cloud over when the set is suddenly moved

from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD is not possible then.
Leave the CD player in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

You can clean the CD player with a soft and slightly dampened
chamois leather. Do not use any cleaning agents
as they may have a corrosive effect

Always pick up the CD by the edge and put it back in its
box after use.

To clean the CD, wipe it off in a straight line from the
center towards the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth.
A cleaning agent may damage the disc!

When a new CD does not stay on the hub, this

is caused by small burrs around the center hole of the CD.
Remove the burrs by rubbing the edge of the center hole

with a pen or similar instrument.

exhausted batteries and obsolete equipment.

All redundant packaging material has been omitted. We have done our utmost to
