POWER CONNECTION
Connecting AC Power
Plug the supplied AC power cord into the AC jack that located on the rear of the product and plug the
other end into a standard AC socket. The unit is designed to operate from a main supply of
AC120V~ 60Hz.
CAUTION: The supplied AC power cord has a polarized plug that fits into the wall outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit properly, turn it over and try again. Do not force it.
NOTE: When the unit is intended for being unused for a long period of the time. Please turn off the unit and unplug
the power cord from the AC wall outlet.
Battery Operation
Before installing batteries (not included), ensure
that the unit is disconnected from the mains
supply.
Remove the battery compartment cover on the
bottom of the unit by carefully pushing the
batteries cover. The battery cover can then be
lifted away.
Fit 6 x 1.5V C-size batteries (not included),
referring to the polarity markings inside the
battery compartment. Never mix old and new
batteries. Finally, replace the cover.
For battery operation, switch off the mains
supply and remove the AC power cord from the
power socket, battery operation will be selected
automatically.
Caution:
There is a danger of explosion if batteries are replaced incorrectly.
Replace batteries with the same type and same brand only.
If the unit will not be used for a long period of the time, turn OFF the unit and remove all
batteries from the main unit.
Establish a safe sound level
Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous loud sounds and will give the impression that the volume
has in fact been reduced. What seems normal to you may in fact be harmful. To guard against this before
your hearing adapts, set the volume to a low level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearly and without distortion. Damage to your
hearing is accumulative and is irreversible. Any ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume
is too loud. Once you have established a comfortable listening level, do not increase the sound level.
Adjusting the Volume
Press the VOLUME + / - button to increase / decrease the volume.
