5POWERING THE UNIT

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

The player comes with two matched speakers that are detachable. The player may be used with the speakers docked in the lid, or with the speak- ers detached. You may take remove the speakers from the lid and place them where

you like by using the supplied connection wire. Follow these steps to connect the speakers:

1.Press gently and push down to slide the speakers out of the lid.

2.Using the supplied connection wire, connect one end of the wire to the jack on the speaker and the other to the “SPEAKERS L or R” jack on the right side of the player.

3.Swivel out the built-in speaker stands for stability and place the speakers where you like, as permitted by the length of the connection wire.

CONNECTING HEADPHONES

For private listening, you can listen to the player with a pair of stereo earphones or headphones with a 3.5mm plug by plugging it into the headphone jack on the right side of the player.

LISTENING SAFETY

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use earphones or headphones:

•Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

•Do not listen to the radio or music at extremely high volume level. Extended high- volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

•Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

TRAFFIC SAFETY

Do not wear earphones or headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas. Even though some earphones and headphones let you hear some sounds outside when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.

You can power the player from any of these power supplies:

•4 AA alkaline batteries

•Standard AC power using a DC 7.5V, 800mA AC/DC adapter

USING BATTERIES

Follow these steps to install batteries:

1.Press down and slide the battery door in the direction of the arrow on the cover and lift it up.

2.Place four AA batteries into the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.

3.Replace the battery door.

CAUTION:

•Always use fresh batteries of the specified size by the manufacturer. Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries, or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

•If you do not plan to use the player with batteries for a month or more, or if you plan to use the AC/DC adapter only, remove the batteries. Unused batteries can leak chemicals that may destroy the electronic parts inside.

NOTE:

•When battery symbol flashes on the display, replace the batteries, as sound may distort or volume weaken.

•When batteries are taken out, the time will be stored in memory for 3 minutes. Please replace batteries quickly to prevent the clock from being reset.

•Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

USING AC/DC ADAPTER

You can power the unit from a standard AC outlet by using the included DC 7.5V 800mA AC/DC adapter

1.Insert the AC/DC adapter’s plug into the “DC IN 7.5V” jack on the right side of the player.

2.Plug the AC/DC adapter into a standard AC outlet.

CAUTION:

When you finish using AC/DC adapter, disconnect it from AC outlet first, then unplug it from the unit.

NOTE: Once an AC/DC adapter is connected to the unit, the batteries installed will be disconnected automatically.
