from the player and discard it.

POWER SOURCES

This personal CD/MP3 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

Input: 120V 60Hz AC

Output: 4.5V DC, 700 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

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 left side 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,backpack,etc,slidethe 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.

Dynamic Bass Boost (DBB) and Preset Equalizer (EQ) Functions

During CD playback you may press the PROG/EQ button repeatedly to activate

the Dynamic Bass Boost function or select one of the four preset equalizer settings

(POP/CLASSIC/JAZZ/ROCK).

Pressing thePROG/EQ button repeatedly will cycle the player through the following

modes:

DBB (Dynamic Bass Boost ‘On) POP CLASSIC JAZZ ROCK

FLAT (EQ ‘Off’) DBB.

The selected mode will appear in the display for a few seconds and then the PLAY

indicator reappears.

When the disc stops and is removed from the player the EQ returns to the original

default setting (DBB ‘Off’/ EQ ‘Off’).
