Important Safety Instructions
Before you use this device for the first time, please read the following notes in
this manual and heed all warnings, even if you are familiar with handling
electronic devices. Keep this manual safe for future reference. If you sell the
device or pass it on, it is essential that you also hand over this manual.
Warning: Mains Isolation:
The On/Off switch located on the back panel of this device does not fully
disconnect the device from the mains. Furthermore, the device consumes
electricity in the Standby mode. In order to completely disconnect the device
from the mains, the power plug must be pulled out from the wall outlet. For this
reason, the device should be positioned in such a way that unobstructed
access to the wall outlet is ensured, so that the power plug can be immediately
pulled out in an emergency situation. To avoid the risk of fire if the device is
not going to be used for a long while (e.g. during holidays), it should always be
disconnected from the power socket.
Do not open the housing of the device - it contains no serviceable parts!
Opening the housing exposes you to lethal electric shocks.
Before stormy weather when there is the risk of lightning, disconnect the
device from the power supply.
Power cord precautions:
Always hold the power cord by the plug. Never pull on the cable itself and
never hold the power cord with wet hands as this may cause a short circuit or
electric shock. Do not place the unit itself nor any furniture or other devices
onto the power cord and make sure that the cable does not become trapped.
Never make knots in the cable and do not tie it together with other cords. The
power cord should be positioned so that nobody can trip over it or be
obstructed by it. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or an electric shock.
Inspect the power cord from time to time. In case of damage, contact the
nearest authorised service centre or your dealer for replacement.

SilverCrest Stereo Hi-Fi System CM-3500
Introduction
Thank you for choosing a SilverCrest product.
Via its docking station functionality, the CD-Micro Stereo Hifi System CM-3500
gives you comfortable access and control of your iPod/iPhone. In this User’s
Manual we will refer to an iPod only, however the descriptions will apply to
both device types. A complete list of supported devices can be found at the
end of this User's Manual.
Furthermore, the device features a CD player and a PLL radio tuner. For
playing back contents stored on modern storage media, a card reader for SD
and MMC memory cards and a USB port for USB memory sticks are built-in.
On the back panel there is an AUX connector for external audio devices. All
functions can be controlled easily via the supplied remote control.
Getting Started
Connecting the Device
Speakers
The supplied speakers already feature a twin-wire audio cable. Both cables
are marked with white strips on one side. The marked wires represent the
positive pole of the connection clamps.
Press the grey latch (positive pole of the right speaker) of the connection
clamp (22) so that the clamp opens.
Keep the latch pressed and insert the non-insulated end of the marked wire
into the clamp.
Release the latch and the wire will be fixed in the clamp.
Repeat the procedure for all the other wires.
14 - English
Double-check that no wire is loose by gently pulling on them.
If a wire isn’t secured, repeat the above steps.
SilverCrest Stereo Hi-Fi System CM-3500
Connecting to the Mains
Connect the power plug of the power cord (26) to an easily accessible wall
outlet.
Remote control
Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
Insert two of the supplied batteries with the correct polarity into the battery
compartment. Note the + and – icons on the batteries and inside the battery
compartment.
Close the battery compartment.
Inserting the Backup Batteries
In order to avoid having to set the time each time you power the device off by
using the On/Off button (25) or after a power failure, you can use the supplied
backup batteries. This keeps the clock alive over a longer time.
Proceed as follows:
If it is still powered on, power the device off.
Open the battery compartment (24) on the back of the device.
Insert two of the supplied AAA-sized batteries into the battery compartment
respecting the correct polarity. Note the + and – icons on the batteries and
inside the battery compartment.
Close the battery compartment.
If you have programmed a wakeup alarm, it will also be
backed up by the batteries. If a short power failure occurs at
night, the system will wake you up successfully the next
morning whenever backup batteries are used.
