PREPARATION FOR USE

UNPACKING AND SET-UP

Carefully remove the unit from the carton and remove all packing material from the unit.

Remove any labels or stickers which may be on the front or top of the set, but do not remove any labels from the back or bottom.

Press the CD door OPEN button and remove the dummy CD display card from the CD compartment.

We suggest that you retain the original carton and packing materials in case it ever becomes necessary to return your unit for service. This is the only sure way to protect the unit from damage in transit.

If you do dispose of the carton and packing materials, please do so properly. Emerson cares about our environment.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Playing CD’s at higher volume levels increases the battery drain and shortens the battery life. Try to use AC power whenever it is available.

You must remove the AC Power Cord from the AC Cord Socket on the back cabinet in order to operate the unit on batteries.

We recommend using alkaline batteries for the longest possible life.

Change the batteries when the output of the unit becomes weak or the sound becomes distorted. Always change all six (6) batteries at the same time.

If the unit will be stored and not used for 30 days or more it is recommended to remove the batteries from the battery compartment to reduce the possibility of damage from battery leakage or corrosion.
