General Information

• Do not allow the interior of the CD player (the area behind the clear cover) to be exposed

to water. Do not change CDs, or open the CD cover while the water is running.

• It is generally more convenient to locate this unit directly outside of the shower, where it

is more accessible for use at other times.

• Avoid accidentally opening the CD cover and exposing the unit to possible water damage

while water is running.

• If the interior of the unit is exposed to water, remove the unit to a dry location and allow

it to dry overnight before operating again. (Leave the cover open to thoroughly dry.)

• Do not use an adapter to power this unit in the bathroom, near water, or outdoors.

• Remove the batteries when mostly using an external power supply.

Battery Installation

Locking-knob

• The battery compartment is located on the back of the

unit. Do not remove the battery compartment cover in or
near water.

• Turn the battery compartment locking-knob counter-

clockwise.

• Remove battery compartment cover by lifting it away

from the back of the unit.

• Install four new alkaline C batteries in the direction indi-

cated by battery compartment diagram. Maintain current
time-setting by replacing only two batteries at a time.

• If desired, switch the 12H/24H control to display time in

either a twelve-hour (AM/PM) format, or a 24-hour (mili­tary) format.

• Next to the 12H/24H switch is a tuning switch for travel

and use in some countries outside the United States. For
normal operation and tuning of US radio broadcasts, it is
necessary that the switch remain in the 9K position.
Switch to the 10K position when in areas where required,
such as Europe.

• Replace the battery compartment cover, and lock into

place by turning the battery compartment locking­knob clockwise until it stops turning. (Avoid over­tightening.)

• An optional AC adapter can also power the unit. The

power and earphone jacks are located on the side of
the unit and are protected by a removable cover. DO
NOT use an AC adapter when operating this unit in
or near water. The AC adapter jack is for indoor use
only, and only for areas that will not expose the
adapter or cord to water.

Mounting/Locating

• The best place to mount this unit is where it can be

easily accessed anytime you wish to operate it. Do not
locate the unit directly inside the shower if you wish
to listen to it at other times. This will also protect the
unit from accidental exposure to water when the CD
cover is open.

• Connect the unit to the included stand accessory to

stand upright on a vanity or table. Do not use to
stand the unit directly on the floor of the shower

the tabs on the bracket.

shower rod, or from the showerhead.

Programming Radio Presets

• This unit can be programmed with up to 10 of your favorite AM (MW) and FM radio

stations preset for instant recall at the press of one or two buttons.

• Pressing the buttons numbered 1 to 5 accesses 5 single-touch presets. Pressing the +5

button followed by pressing one of the buttons numbered 1 to 5 accesses 5 additional
presets.

• The radio must be turned on to set the preset stations.

• Tune to the desired radio station.

• Press the MEMORY/CLOCK ADJUST button.

• Press any one of the buttons numbered 1 to 5, or press the +5 button followed by any of

the buttons numbered 1 to 5.

• Press the MEMORY/CLOCK ADJUST button again. The preset is now locked into

memory.

• Repeat this procedure to preset a different station.

• Change any preset by programming over it with a new station’s frequency.

Antenna

• An optional wire antenna is included to help boost radio and TV reception.

• If needed, the antenna should be connected to the attachment screw on the rear of the

unit, near the bottom left side.

• If reception continues to need improvement, the wire antenna can be stretched to make

it longer. Use caution to make sure that the antenna does not hang in the way.

• Reception of some stations may not be possible in all areas. Relocating or redirecting the

antenna by changing its position will help strengthen some signals. Every FM radio and
TV signal has a “best” position for the antenna, and no single position is best for all.

• AM radio reception can be affected by the position of the radio itself. To change AM

reception, adjust the position of the radio.
