Battery operation

1. Remove the Battery cover on the base of your CD radio cassette
by sliding the cover in the direction of the arrow.

2. Insert six LR14 (C/UM-2 size) batteries into the spaces in the
compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the
correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. Replace
the battery cover.

3. Reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that
the batteries may need replacing. If your CD radio cassette is not to
be used for any extended period of time it is recommended that the
six LR14 (C/UM-2 size) batteries are removed from the radio.

We would recommend for economy that your CD radio cassette is
used on the mains whenever possible with battery operation for
occasional or stand-by use only.

Mains operation

1. Place your CD radio cassette on a flat surface.

2. Plug the mains lead into the socket located on the rear of your CD
radio cassette ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.

3. Plug the other end into a mains wall socket and switch on.

5. Carefully tune to the desired station using the Tuning control.

6. Angle and rotate the Telescopic aerial to a position giving the best
reception. A knuckle joint at the base of the aerial allows this
movement and an angle of 45 degrees will usually be satisfactory.
The FM band is marked in Megahertz (MHz).

7. To receive stereo broadcasts set the FM mode switch located on
the rear of your CD radio cassette to the 'Stereo' position the Stereo
indicator will light up. If the station being received is weak some hiss
may be audible, to reduce the hiss set the FM mode switch to the
'Mono' position to return to mono operation.

8. Adjust the Deep bass boost switch to the preferred position.

9. To switch off the radio set the Function switch to the 'Tape Off'
position.
