Useful Advice

Do not use your system immediately after
transporting it from a cold place to a warm
place, as condensation may cause the system to
malfunction. If moisture forms inside this
system, it may not operate properly. To correct
the problem, turn off the power and wait about
30 minutes for moisture to evaporate

This system is fitted with a laser. To avoid
accidents, it is to be opened by qualified
technicians only.

Never leave the tray open as dust could cover
the laser lens and/or the tray could be bumped
into accidentally

Do not place the system near wet areas such as
bathrooms and pool side. Avoid storing the
system at humid places or near abnormally
heated areas.

Power is continuously supplied to the system. To
disconnect power completely, unplug the power
cord from the power outlet.

Headset Safety

Do not play your headset at a high
volume. Hearing experts advise against

continuous extended play. If you experience a
ringing in your ears, reduce volume or
discontinue use. You should use extreme caution
or temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations. Even if your headset is an
open-air type designed to let you hear outside
sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that
you can’t hear what’s around you.

AC Power

Plug the power supply
cord into the AC power
jack on the back of the
unit, and into an AC
power supply outlet that
accepts the plug supplied with your unit.

Note: Look in the battery compartment to find
the AC power cord.

Battery Power

You can insert 6 D-sized
alkaline batteries (not
supplied) and you can
take your stereo just
about anywhere. 3 “AA”
batteries (not supplied)
are needed to keep
radio station memory.
Open the battery
compartment door on the back of the unit by
pressing down on the arrow and pulling out the
cover. Insert batteries in the battery
compartment.(See diagram)

Note that the AC line cord must be
unplugged from the jack on the back of
the unit to operate on batteries.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove batteries when

storing the set for more than 30 days. Leaky
batteries can badly damage the system. Always
return tape operatioin buttons to their off
position before storing. This will relieve pressure
on certain parts in the tape recorder that might
deform after long periods of time. Be sure to
dispose of leaky, weak or dead batteries
properly according to federal, state, and local
regulations. To prevent injury or damage, do
not reverse batteries and do not mix battery
type.
