Headphone socket
A 3.5mm Headphone Socket located on the rear of your clock radio is provided for
use with either headphones or an earpiece. Inserting a plug automatically mutes the
internal loudspeaker.
Please be aware that the sensitivity of headphones can vary widely. We therefore
recommend setting the volume to a low level before connecting headphones to the
clock radio.
IMPORTANT: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels
for long periods.
Auxiliary input socket
1. Connect a stereo or mono audio source (i.e. CD player, MP3
player, etc.) to the Auxiliary input socket.
2. Press On/Off to switch on the clock radio.
3. Repeatedly, apply a long press on the Menu/Mode button until
the display shows 'AUX IN'.
4. Adjust the Volume control on your player and on the clock radio
for comfortable listening.
5. Remove the cable from the Auxiliary input socket or apply a
long press on the Menu/Mode button to cancel Auxiliary Input
mode.
Note that audio played via the auxiliary input will be played in mono
through the speaker and in stereo through stereo headphones.
