Installing The Batteries

1.) Open the battery compartment door on the bottom cabinet by sliding it in the direction of the arrow and then lifting it open. To prevent loss, the door cannot be removed from the unit.

2.) Insert 2 "AA" batteries (not included) into the compartment. Use alkaline batteries for longest life. Follow the polarity markings inside the compartment. If the batteries are inserted incorrectly the unit will not work.

3.) Close the battery door.

NOTE: In order to operate the player on batteries the optional AC adapter must be disconnected from the DC 4.5V jack.

Battery Replacement

When the batteries become too weak the battery level indicator flashes and operation may become erratic. When this occurs replace the batteries immediately.

If the display remains blank when you press the PLAY/PAUSE button, the batteries are completely dead. Replace them immediately. If dead batteries are left inside the battery compartment for a long period of time they may leak and cause damage to the unit, and such damage or corrosion from leaking batteries is not covered by your warranty.

Battery Precautions

Replacement of batteries must be done by an adult.

Do not mix old and new batteries.

Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.

Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.

Exhausted batteries are to be removed.

Only batteries of the equivalent type are to be used.

Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.

Dispose of batteries properly. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries may explode or leak.
