Battery operation
1. Remove the Battery cover on the rear of your CD radio cassette
by pushing the catches in the direction shown.
2. Insert eight LR14 (C size) batteries into the compartment. Take care
to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as
shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
3. Reduced power, distortion, and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that
the batteries may need replacing.
We would recommend for economy that your CD9949 is used
on the mains whenever possible with battery operation for
occasional or stand-by use only.
Mains operation
1. Place your CD radio cassette on a flat surface.
2. Plug the mains lead into the Socket located on the rear of your CD
radio cassette. Ensure that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.
3. Plug the other end into a wall socket and switch on.
4. Do not allow this unit to be exposed to moisture (e.g. dripping or
splashing). Do not leave your radio where excessive heat could
cause damage such as in a parked car where the heat from the sun
can build up even though the outside temperature may not seem too
high.

Note: The unit remains connected to the mains even when it
is switched off. The unit is only isolated from the mains if the
mains plug is removed from the wall socket.
