PREPARATIONFORUSE
REMOVE THE TRANSIT CARD
This personal CD player is shipped with a dummy CD ‘transit card ‘ inside the CD
compartment. The purpose of this card is to prevent the laser from moving during
shipment of the product. This card must be removed before using the CD player.
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
included. If you decide to purchase an optional AC/DC adapter the specification
must be as follows:
Input: 120V 60Hz AC
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
select the required output voltage and plug polarity, and normally includes multiple
plug sizes to fit most brands of equipment. Always look for the “UL” listing mark
when you purchase an adapter.

OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
HOLD Switch
The HOLD switch on the left side of the cabinet must be in the ‘Off’ (left) position
to start the CD player. If you plan to carry the CD player in a handbag, briefcase,
school bag, back pack, etc, slide the HOLD switch to the ‘On’ (right) position.
While the HOLD switch is ‘On’ all of the controls on the CD door are disabled. This
prevents the player from starting accidentally by something pressing against the
PLAY/PAUSE button.
After you begin CD playback you may also slide the HOLD switch to the ‘On’ (right)
position to disable all the controls on the CD door. You can then place the player in
a handbag, backpack, etc, and do not have to worry that the player will be
accidentally turned off by something pressing against the STOP button or Track
Skip buttons.
BASS Boost Switch
During CD playback you may slide the BASS switch to the ‘On’ position to activate
the Bass Boost function as desired.
