Notes: - It is normal for the batteries to become warm during recharging.
- If the batteries become too warm, recharging will be interrupted for approximately 30 minutes and is displayed.
- To ensure proper recharging on board, take care that contacts are clean.
- Use only the ECO-PLUS NiMH battery AY 3362.
Handling instructions
- Recharging already charged or half-charged batteries will shorten their lifetime. We therefore recommend that you let the rechargeable ECO-PLUS NiMH battery run till it is completely empty before you recharge it.
- To avoid a short circuit, do not let the battery touch any metal object.
- If the battery becomes empty soon after recharging, then either its contacts are dirty or it has reached the end of its lifetime.
Mains adapter (supplied or optionally available)
Use only the AY 3170 adapter (4.5 V/300 mA direct current, positive pole to the centre pin). Any other product may damage the player.
1 Make sure that the adapter's voltage corresponds to the local voltage.
2 Connect the adapter to the 4.5V DC socket of the player and to the wall socket.

Use your head when using headphones
Hearing safety: Do not play your headphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise that continuous use at high volume can permanently damage your hearing.
Traffic safety: Do not use headphones while driving a vehicle. It may create a hazard and it is illegal in many countries. Even if your headphones are an open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, do not turn up the volume so high that you cannot hear what is going on around you.

HOLD - locking all buttons
You can lock the buttons of the set by switching the slider to HOLD. Now, when a key is pressed, no action will be executed. This is of use, for example, when transporting the player in a bag. With HOLD activated, you can avoid accidental activation of other functions.

ESP
Conventional portable CD-players subjected to a shock or vibration during playback often skip parts of the CD. The ELECTRONIC SKIP PROTECTION (ESP) feature, with which your set is equipped, however, prevents such loss of continuity when your player is subjected to light vibrations. But ESP does not prevent playback interruptions caused by vigorous exercise. Nor does it protect against damage resulting from the player being dropped!

- Press ESP during playback to activate the skip protection.
- ESP is shown and the protection is activated.
- To deactivate the skip protection, press ESP again.
ESP goes off and the protection is deactivated.

In-car use (connections supplied or optionally available)
Only use the AY 3545 car voltage converter (4.5V, DC, positive pole to the centre pin) and the AY 3501 car cassette adapter. Any other product may damage the set.
1 Put the CD-player on a horizontal, vibration-free and stable surface. Make sure it is in a safe place, where the
player is neither a danger nor obstacle to either driver or passenger.

2 Connect the DC plug of the voltage converter to the 4.5V DC socket of the CDplayer (only for a 12V car battery, negative grounding).
3 Insert the voltage converter into the cigarette lighter socket. If necessary, clean the cigarette lighter socket to obtain a good electrical contact.
4 Turn down the volume and connect the cassette adapter plug to the / LINE OUT socket of the CD player.
5 Carefully insert the cassette adapter into the car radio's cassette compartment.
6 Make sure the cord does not hinder your driving.
7 Start the CD-player, set VOL to position 8 and adjust the sound with the car radio controls.
- Always remove the voltage converter from the cigarette lighter socket when the CD-player is not in use.
Note: - Avoid excessive heat from the car heating or from direct sunlight (e.g. in a parked car in the summer).
- If your car radio has a LINE IN socket, it is better to use this instead of the cassette adapter. Simply connect a signal lead from the / LINE OUT socket of the CD-player to this LINE IN socket.
