CONTROL OPERATION AND FUNCTION
POWER SUPPLY
Your CD player requires 2 size “AA” alkaline
batteries (not include), or use the AC adaptor
AC ADAPTOR OPERATION (NOT INCLUDE)
Plug one end of the AC adaptor into the DC 4.5V jack, then plug the other end into
AC wall outlet.
PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE AC ADAPTOR
Don’t touch the AC adaptor with wet hands. Doing so is dangerous, as this could
result in an electric shock.
If the adaptor plug is insert into the DC Jack of the Player, the power supply auto-
matically switch to the AC/DC power and the batteries supply will be disconnected.
DC OPERATION
ALKALINE BATTERY INSTALLATION (NOT SUPPLIED)
Insert two AA batteries (not supplied) into the battery compartment on the bottom of
the unit. Be sure to observe the proper polarity.
NOTE ON ALKALINE BATTERIES
1. When replacing the alkaline batteries, use two new batteries of the same type. Do
not mix a used battery with a new one or mix different types of batteries.
2. When inserting the batteries, be sure to place the batteries as the sketch shown,
mistakenly inserting even one with improper polarity will cause leakage.
3. When not use the unit for an extended period of time, or not use the batteries for a
long time, remove them to prevent possible acid leakage or corrosion resulting in
damage to your player or personal injury such as skin burns.
4. Bear in mind that battery life expectancy is based upon playing mode. Maximum
battery power consumption happens at maximum settings. If sound gets distorted
or if the unit fails to switch tracks, your batteries are weak. Replace both batteries,
or use AC adaptor.
5. Never charge, heat, disassemble, or throw batteries into a fire.
