POWER SOURCES
Your CD player requires 2 size “AA” alkaline batteries (not included), or the AC Adaptor (included).
BATTERY OPERATION
1.Apply slight downward thumb pressure on Battery Door (marked open), and gently slide it in an outward direction to open the door.
2.Insert 2 size “AA” fresh alkaline batteries according to + and - polarity markings inside the battery compartment. For longer operating life, heavy duty alkaline batteries are recommended (also see
TIPS ON BATTERY USE).
3.Close the Battery Door, making sure it is snapped into place.
NOTE: If you will not use your set for one week or more, remove the batteries and unplug the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet.
TIPS ON BATTERY USE
• Reversing polarities will damage the batteries and possibly your set. Be sure to follow + and - markings as indicated.
• Do not mix different types together (Alkaline, Carbon- Zinc,
• When not in use for an extended period of time, or while internal batteries will not be used, remove them to prevent possible acid leakage or corrosion resulting in damage
to your player.
• Bear in mind that battery life expectancy is based upon
volume and bass listening levels and if ESP PLUS circuitry
is used. Using the ESP PLUS feature consumes more
power. Maximum battery power consumption happens at
maximum settings. Typical life for 2 size “AA” alkaline batteries is about 8 hours of continuous use. If the set fails to switch tracks, or if it shuts off, your batteries are weak. Replace both batteries, or use the AC Adaptor.
•When the batteries have become discharged, they must be disposed of in a safe manner that complies with all applicable laws.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the alkaline batteries are weak and discharged, this symbol “ 
” FLASHES in the display, then the power automatically turns off. If this occurs, replace both batteries (also if display does not show anything, batteries are dead).
•This set can be used without batteries as long as the supplied AC Adaptor is connected. NOTE: When proper power is in use, the “ 
” symbol will be steady on (not flashing).
TECHNICAL NOTE: Because of the special integrated circuits and servomotor in this set, this set will not work with weak batteries, it will automatically shut off if the batteries get too weak for proper operation.
BATTERY RECOVERY
When batteries get weak and cause the set to stop, if you wait about 30 minutes, the batteries will regain a small amount of capacity and play for a few more minutes. This does not mean the set is defective. Replace both batteries or use the AC Adaptor.
