Read this before operation

< As the unit may become warm during

operation, always leave sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.

< Do not use any AC adaptors other than

the one included with this unit to avoid fire, electric shock, etc. Be sure to connect the AC adaptor to an AC outlet that supplies the correct voltage.

< Choose the installation location of your

unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.

< Do not open the cabinet as this might

result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or service company.

< When removing the AC adaptor from the

wall outlet, Always pull gently on the adaptor case. Never yank the cord.

< Do not attempt to clean the unit with

chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

< Keep this manual in a safe place for

future reference.

CAUTION

The product shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no object filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the product.

Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a book case or similar unit.

Rechargeable Batteries

The R-1 uses a Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery pack stored in the battery compartment. Leaving the AC adaptor connected to the R1 and plugged in AC line, even when not in use, ensures the batteries will be fully charged when you need to use the R-1 on battery power. The R-1 can be used for 6 to 7 hours after batteries are fully charged.

< When the batteries become discharged

and need to be recharged, the POWER ON indicator blinks at intervals. And the blinling will grow faster as the batteries get closer to discharge until the R-1 shuts off automatically to protect the batteries.

< When the R-1 is not used but the AC

adaptor plugged in, the batteries will be completely charged within approximately

3.5 hours from full discharge. During this period the POWER ON indicator flushes at intervals.

< When the R-1 is ON and the AC adaptor

plugged in, the batteries will be completely charged within approximately 24 hours.

< It may take up to 4 charge and discharge

cycles before the batteries are operating at full capacity when the R-1 is new or left unused for several weeks. It is suggested that the R-1 is plugged in for about 12 hours before you use it first.

< Once the R-1 has been fully charged

while it is OFF, do not unplug the AC adaptor and then immediately plug it again, as this will restart the charging even though the batteries are fully charged. Doing this repeatedly will damage the batteries.

< If the R-1 is not plugged in, the batteries

will slowly self-discharge as a safety measure.

Battery Replacement

When the batteries are exhausted, replace the battery pack with new one.

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Disconnect the connector of the battery pack, and remove it.

3. Insert a new battery pack and connect its connector.

4. Close the cover.

Caution:

< Do not heat or disassemble rechargeable

batteries and never dispose of old batteries by throwing them in a fire

FM Telescopic Antenna

Stretch the telescopic antenna to it's fullest length and rotate it to the direction that gives the best reception.

FM Antenna

You can connect the provided lead-type FM antenna to the terminal. While in FM mode, tune in an FM station and extend the lead to find a position for the best reception. This antenna may need to be repositioned if you move your unit to a new location.

AUX IN jack

You can connect a portable audio player to this jack. Connect the LINE OUT or PHONES jack (audio output jack) of the player using the supplied stereo mini plug cable.

When using the PHONES jack of your mini player, you must adjust the volume of the mini-player or you may hear no sound from your R-1.

ENGLISH

< Turning the volume of the mini player up too high may cause the sound from

your R-1 to be distorted. If this is the case, reduce the volume of the mini player until the distortion stops and then adjust the volume level of the R-1 to a comfortable listening level

PHONES

For private listening, insert the headphones plug into this jack, and adjust the volume using the VOLUME knob.

< You can listen to stereo using headphones when you are receiving an FM

stereo broadcast.

DC IN

Connect the provided AC adaptor to this jack. Then, connect the AC adaptor’s plug to the AC wall socket.

< Do not use any AC adaptors other than the one included with this unit to

avoid fire, electric shock, etc. Be sure to connect the adaptor to an AC outlet that supplies the correct voltage.
