BATTERIES (OPTIONAL)
1. Open the battery compartment and insert six batteries, type
R-20, UM-1 or D-cells, (preferably alkaline) with the correct
polarity as indicated by the "+" and "-" symbols inside the
compartment.
2. Replace the compartment door, making sure the batteries are
firmly and correctly in place. The set is now ready to operate.
3. Remove the batteries if the set is not to be used for a long
time.
Incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage and will
corrode the compartment or cause the batteries to burst.
Therefore:
•Do not mix battery types: e.g. alkaline with carbon zinc.
Only use batteries of the same type for the set.
• When inserting new batteries, do not try to mix old batteries
with the new ones.
• Remove the batteries if the set is not to be used for a long
time.
Using AC POWER
1. Check if the power voltage as shown on the type plate on
the base of the set, corresponds to your local power supply. If
it does not, consult your dealer or service center.
2. Connect the power cord to the MAINS inlet and the wall
outlet. The power supply is now connected and ready for use.
3. To switch off completely, withdraw the power cord from the
wall outlet.
–Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet to protect your
set during heavy thunderstorms.
Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be
disposed of properly.
The type plate is located on the bottom of the set.
Switching POWER on/off: Save energy
Whether you are using mains or battery supply, to avoid
unnecessary energy consumption always push the POWER button
to the off position after using the set.

PRECAUTIONS AND SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
• Place the set on a hard, flat surface so that the system does
not tilt.
• Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs or cassettes to humidity,
rain, sand or excessive heat caused by heating equipment or
direct sunlight.
• Do not cover the set. Adequate ventilation with a minimum
gap of 15 cm between the ventilation holes and surrounding
surfaces is necessary to prevent heat build-up.
• The mechanical parts of the set contain self-lubricating
bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.
• To clean the set, use a soft, slightly dampened chamois
leather. Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol,
ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may harm the
housing.

clean the lens but leave the set in a warm environment until
the moisture evaporates.
• Use only Digital Audio CDs.
• To take a CD out of its box, press the center spindle while
lifting the CD. Always pick up the CD by the edge and replace
the CD back in its box after use to avoid scratching and dust.
