PREPARATIONFORUSE

REMOVE THE TRANSIT CARD

This personal CD player is shipped with a dummy CD ‘transit card ‘ inside the CD

compartment. The purpose of this card is to prevent the laser from moving during

shipment of the product. This card must be removed before using the CD player.

Slide the OPEN switch to the right to unlock the CD door. Remove the ‘transit card’

from the player and discard it.

POWER SOURCES

This personal CD player is designed to operate on two “AA” batteries, not included.

Use a well known brand of Alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance.

This player can also be operated by with an optional AC/DC converter/adapter, not

included. If you decide to purchase an optional AC/DC adapter the specification

must be as follows:

Input: 120V 60Hz AC

Output: 4.5V DC, 500 mA.

Plug: 1.7 mm Female Type with Positive Center, UL Listed.

You may also purchase a “Universal” type AC/DC adapter which allows you to

select the required output voltage and plug polarity, and normally includes multiple

plug sizes to fit most brands of equipment. Always look for the “UL” listing mark

when you purchase an adapter.

OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

HOLD Switch

The HOLD switch on the bottom of the cabinet must be in the ‘Off’ (left) position to

start the CD player. If you plan to carry the CD player in a handbag, briefcase,

school bag, back pack, etc, slide the HOLD switch to the ‘On’ (right) position.

While the HOLD switch is ‘On’ all of the controls on the CD door are disabled. This

prevents the player from starting accidentally by something pressing against the

PLAY/PAUSE button.

After you begin CD playback you may also slide the HOLD switch to the ‘On’ (right)

position to disable all the controls on the CD door. You can then place the player in

a handbag, backpack, etc, and do not have to worry that the player will be

accidentally turned off by something pressing against the STOP button or Track

Skip buttons.

BASS BOOST Switch

During CD playback you may slide the BASS BOOST switch to the ‘ON’ position

to activate the Bass Boost function as desired.
