Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.To change a fuse in this type of
plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 3 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a
value of 3 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board
should not be greater than 3 Amp.
Note:The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it
be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L). As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings iden-
tifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
•Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
•Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
•Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or
coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the
sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

and wall outlet before inserting batteries.
Batteries (not included)

type R-14,UM-2 or C-cells,(preferably
alkaline) with the correct polarity as indicated by
the "+" and "–" symbols inside the compartment.
2 Replace the battery door, making sure the
batteries are firmly and correctly in place.The
set is now ready to operate.
Batteries contain chemical substances, so
they should be disposed of properly.
• Incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte
leakage and will corrode the compartment or
cause the batteries to burst:
• Do not mix battery types: e.g. alkaline with
carbon zinc. Only use batteries of the same type
for the set.

old batteries with the new ones.
• Remove the batteries if the set is not to be used
for a long time.

About MP3
The music compression technology MP3
(MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) significantly reduce
the digital data of an audio CD while
maintaining CD quality sound.
•Getting MP3 files: you can either download
legal music files from the internet to your
computer hard disc, or create such files by
converting audio CD files in your computer
through appropriate encoder software.
(128kbps bit rate or higher is recommended
for MP3 files.)
•Creating a MP3 CD: burn the music files
from your computer hard disc on a CDR or
CDRW using your CD burner.
Helpful Hints:
– Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files
end with .mp3 .
– Total number of music files and albums: around
400 (with a typical file name length of 20
characters)
– The length of file names affects the number of
tracks for playback. With shorter file names, more
files can be burned on a disc.
