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 theright to unlock the CD door. Remove the ‘transit card’
from the player and discard it.
Power Source
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: 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.
