In-car use (connections supplied or optionally available)

Only use the AY 3545 (4822 219 10033) or AY 3548 (3140 118 71890) car voltage converter (4.5 V DC, positive pole to the centre pin) and the AY 3501 car adapter cassette. Any other product may damage the set.

stable surface. Make sure it is in a safe place,	12 V DC
where the set is neither a danger nor an
obstacle to the driver and the passengers.
2 Plug the voltage converter into the	4,5 V DC
cigarette lighter socket (only for 12 V car
battery, negative grounding), then connect
the wired end with 4.5V DC input socket on the
set.

3If necessary, clean the cigarette lighter socket to obtain a good electrical contact.

4Turn down the volume and connect the cassette adapter plug to LINE OUT/p on the set.

5Carefully insert the cassette adapter into the car radio’s cassette compartment.
