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 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: 1.7 mm 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 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 or RADIO 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.

Electronic Skip Protection (ESP)
This CD player includes an Electronic Skip Protection circuit that continuously
stores 40 seconds of CD music in an electronic memory. If the player is bumped
or shaken you will not hear any skipping because the player is reading from the
memory, not directly from the disc. Of course if the shaking continues for more
than 40 seconds, the ESP memory will be depleted and the player may then skip
or stop if the shaking continues.
ESP memory function is automatically activated during CD playback. The display
will show the ESP meter and begin to fill up with bars.
Each bar represents approximately 8 seconds of music in the memory. When all 5
bars appear the memory contains 40 seconds of music.
If the player is bumped or shaken one or more of the bars may disappear as the
memory is depleted .
When the shaking stops the memory will fill up again.

IMPORTANT:
This CD player can play normal CDs plus CD Recordable (CD-R) and CD
Rewriteable (CD-RW) discs. However the playability of CD-R/RW discs may be
affected by the type of software that was used in ‘ripping’ the tracks from the
original discs and ‘burning’ the tracks onto the blank media. Playability may also
be affected by the quality and condition of the blank media you use for recording.
100% compatibility cannot be guaranteed. This is not an indication of any problems
with your player.
