PREPARATIONFORUSE
POWER SOURCES
This personal CD player with digital tuner is designed to operate on two alkaline
“AA” batteries, or on an optional AC adapter, not included.Attempting to operate
this unit on any other power source may cause damage to the unit and such damage
is not covered by your warranty.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
The battery compartment is located inside the CD player.
1.) Open the CD door locking hinge as shown and then open the CD door.
Remove the “dummy CD” transit protection card from the CD spindle and
discard it.
2.) Press the battery cover locking tab
in the direction of the arrow and
open the battery cover as shown.
Note: To prevent loss the battery cover cannot be completely removed
from the player.

3.) Insert two fresh “AA” alkaline batteries in the battery compartment. Be sure to
follow the polarity makings in the battery compartment. If the batteries are
inserted incorrectly the unit will not work.
4.) Close the battery compartment cover and make sure that it is locked in place
so that it does not come in contact with a CD.
WHEN TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES
When the Battery Indicator appears in the display the batteries are getting
weak and should be changed as soon as possible. Do not leave weak or exhausted
batteries in the player as they will eventually leak and cause corrosion inside the
battery compartment.
USING AN OPTIONAL AC/DC ADAPTER
If you decide to purchase an optional AC adapter the specification should be as
follows:
Input Voltage: 120V/60Hz AC.
Output Voltage: 4.5V DC 500mA.
Plug Type: Center-pin 1.3mm Female Plug with Positive (+) Center
Positive(+)Negative(–)

You may also purchase a “Universal” typeAC adapter that allows you to select the
desired output voltage, and normally includes several of the most popular plug
sizes. Make sure that the adapter you purchase is “UL Listed”. Look for the “UL”
mark on the packaging and on the adapter itself.
Connect the adapter housing directly to a 120V AC outlet. Connect the appropriate
adapter plug to the “DC Input 4.5V” jack on the side of the CD player. Remove the
rubber cap from the Input jack before connecting the adapter plug. Replace the
rubber cap when the adapter plug is removed from the player.
Notes:
• The housing of the adapter may become warm during operation. This
is normal.
• Never insert or remove the adapter housing from the AC outlet while
your hands are wet.
• The adapter plug must be completely disconnected from the CD player
in order to operate the player on batteries.

OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
• Make sure the batteries are installed correctly, or that the optional

• If you have not already done so remove the “dummy CD” transit
protection from the CD spindle and discard it.
• Set the VOLUME control to a low level.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This personal CD player is designed to be "water-resistant". Jogging
with this product in the rain will not cause any problems. However
this product is not "water-proof" and should never be immersed in
water. Extra care should taken to prevent water from getting inside
the cabinet while loading or unloading CD's, or while changing the
batteries. In addition, the rubber plugs which cover the headphone
jack and the DC Input jack should remain sealed when those jacks
are not in use. After jogging with this model in the rain please wipe
excess moisture off the cabinet with a soft, dry towel before putting
the model away for storage.
SPORTS STYLE LIGHTWEIGHT STEREO HEADPHONES
The lightweight stereo headphones supplied with this CD player have ear-pieces
designed to fit directly into your ear. Be sure to observe the “L” (Left) and “R”
(Right) markings on the ear-pieces to make sure that you put the headphones on
correctly. Always set the VOLUME control to a low level before putting on the
earphones, and then gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.
