NOTE ON ALKALINE BATTERIES
1.When replacing the alkaline batteries, use two new batteries of the same type. Do not mix a used battery with a new one or mix different types of batteries.
2.When inserting the batteries, be sure to place the batteries as the sketch shown, mistakenly inserting even one with improper polarity will cause leakage and the unit will not play properly.
3.When not using the unit for an extended period of time, or not use the batteries for a long time, remove them to prevent possible acid leakage or corrosion re- sulting in damage to your player or personal injury such as skin burns.
4.Bear in mind that battery life expectancy is based upon playing mode. Maxi- mum battery power consumption happens at maximum settings. If sound gets distorted or if the unit fails to switch tracks, your batteries are weak. Replace both batteries, or use AC adaptor. (ADAPTOR NOT INCLUDED)

6.If the display shows the symbol “ 
”, this means your batteries are weak, re- place them or use the AC adaptor. (ADAPTOR NOT INCLUDED)
