1. Use only the type and size of batteries mentioned in the operating instructions
booklet (batteries are not included with this set, please buy the proper batteries).
2. Do not dispose the batteries into a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local
codes for possible special disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Be careful when handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may over
heat and cause burns.
5. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries may leak
corrosive electrolyte or explode.
6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the batteries identified for use with this product by
heating them. Sudden release of the battery electrolyte may cause burns or
irritation to eyes or skin.
7. All batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged
batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the batteries.
8. When inserting batteries into this product, the proper polarity ( and ) or
direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of some or all of the batteries may
result in battery electrolyte leakage or explosion.
9. Remove the batteries from this product if the product will not be used for a long
period of time (several months or more) since during the period the batteries could
leak, damaging the product.
10. Discard weak or dead batteries as soon as possible since they are more likely to
leak in the product. Batteries should be replaced (depending on the product) when
the display gets dim or if the Low Battery Indicator shows or if the sound gets
distorted.
11. Do not store this product in high temperature areas. Batteries that are stored in a
freezer or refrigerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be protected
from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be stabilized at
room temperature prior to use after cold storage.
12. If this product does not operate normally, see TROUBLE SHOOTING in this
instruction manual. If you cant resolve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to the
LENOXX WARRANTY INFORMATION. Opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when
the appliance is subsequently used.
13. If liquid leaks from the batteries, carefully wipe this liquid. Do not allow it to touch your skin,
and discard the leaking batteries.
14. Do not mix batteries (OLD and NEW or CARBON and ALKALINE, etc.).
15. The use of rechargeable batteries is not recommended for this set because their
voltage and life is lower than standard batteries.
16. Installation of batteries should be done by an adult only.

PRECAUTIONS
On Safety
As the laser beam used in the CD
player section may be harmful to the
eyes, do not attempt to disassemble
the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.
Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the player, unplug the player, and
have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
On Power Sources
For battery operation, use 8 size C
batteries. We recommend alkaline
batteries for longer life.
When the batteries will not be used
for a few weeks or more, remove them
to avoid damage that can be caused
by battery leakage or corrosion.
15
On Operation
If the player is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed
in a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lens inside the CD
player section. Should this occur, the
player will not operate properly. In
this case, remove the CD and wait
about an hour for the moisture to
evaporate. If the player has not been
used for a long time, set it in the
playback mode to warm it up for a few
minutes before inserting a cassette.
This CD player is designed to be
played on a stable no vibration
position. If you bump the set during
CD play, the music will stop or skip for
a few seconds. This is normal for this
type of player.
On Placement
Do not leave the player in a location
near a heat source, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive
dust or mechanical shock.
Do not place the player on an inclined
or unstable place.
Do not place anything within 1 inch of
the back of the cabinet. The
ventilation holes must not be covered
for the player to operate properly and
prolong the life of its components.
If the player is left in a car parked in
the sun, be sure to choose a location
in the car where the player will not be
subjected to the direct rays of the
sun.
Since a strong magnet is used for the
speakers, keep personal credit cards
using magnetic coding or springwound
watches away from the player to
prevent possible damage from the
magnets.

IB-CD105(SY)-DG-E-041602
PRECAUTIONS (continued)
Notes on CDs
Before playing, clean the CD with a
cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the
center out.
Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended
for vinyl LPs.
Do not expose the CD to direct
sunlight or heat sources such as hot
air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked
in direct sunlight as there can be a
considerable rise in temperature inside
the car.
Do not stick paper or stickers on the
CD, nor scratch the CD.
After playing, store the CD in its case.
If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints
on the CD, it may cause a tracking
error or skipping.
To record on a tape with its tab broken
off, cover the respective tab hole for
side A or B with adhesive tape.
The use of a cassette with more than
90 minutes of play time is not
recommended except for long
continuous recording or playback.
To reduce the chances of tape
jamming or tangling, you should check
that there are no loose layers of tape
visible through the cassette center
window. If any, tighten these loose
layers of tape using a pencil before
inserting the cassette into the set.

Notes on Cassettes

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Lens
If the lens becomes dirty, it may cause a
skipping of sound during CD operation.
Clean with a commercially available lens
cleaner and blower.
Cleaning the Tape Heads
Wipe the heads, the pinch roller and
the capstan with a cleaning swab slightly
moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol
after every 10 hours of operation for
optimum playback and recording quality.
After cleaning, insert a tape when the
areas cleaned are completely dry.
Cleaning the Cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls
with a soft cloth slightly moistened with
a mild detergent solution. Do not use
any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or
benzene.

Notes for Storing
Cassette Tapes
1. Do not put a tape near a magnetic
field, such as a TV, or speaker.
Magnetic fields may reduce the tape

2. Do not store tape for any length of
time in a hot, moist or dusty place.
NOTE: In order to see and clean the
head, you may have to press
