Slide the OPEN switch to the right to unlock the CD door. Remove the ‘transit card’
from the player and discard it.
POWER SOURCES
This personal CD player is designed to operate on two “AA” batteries, not included.
Use a well known brand of Alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance.
This player can also be operated by with an optional AC/DC converter/adapter, not

Output: 4.5V DC, 500 mA.
Plug: Female Type with Positive Center, UL Listed.
You may also purchase a “Universal” type AC/DC adapter which allows you to

plug sizes to fit most brands of equipment. Always look for the “UL” listing mark
when you purchase an adapter.
