2. Installation for the use of the equipment

Mains Power Supply:

Heed the following instructions to avoid malfunction, fire, injury and electric shock:

- Check if the mains voltage as shown on the type plate (under the set) corresponds to your local mains voltage. This unit is designed for AC 230V\~50Hz.

- Connect the mains lead to the AC mains socket and the wall outlet.

• To disconnect from wall outlet only pull the plug and not the cable.

- Hold the plug tight, when connecting to or disconnecting from wall outlet.

- Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

- Protect the power cord from heat generating devices.

- Please turn off the player if it has been dropped or is damaged otherwise.

Battery Safety Precautions:

• Keep batteries away from children and pets.
• Insert the batteries observing the polarity (+/-). Failure to properly align the battery polarity can cause personal injury and/or property damage.
• Remove exhausted batteries from the device. Remove the batteries when the device will not be used for extended periods of time to prevent damage due to rusted or corroded batteries.

- Never throw batteries into the fire. Do not expose batteries to fire or other heat sources.

Safety precautions

• Unpack all parts and remove protective material. Before operating the CD helmet, check that the operating voltage is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.
• Do not cover any vents and allow a sufficient amount of free space all around your system for adequate ventilation.

AC mains operation

- Insert the AC power cord into the unit and then plug the corresponding end into an AC household mains outlet, ensuring the voltage is compatible.

Battery operation

• Remove the battery compartment cover
• Insert 6 x UM-2 'C' size batteries, ensuring correct polarity as indicated inside the battery compartment.

NOTE: Check your batteries regularly. Old or discharged batteries may leak and damage the unit. When replacing batteries always ensure that are the same type batteries. When replacing the batteries make sure that are the same type. Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for a long period of time or if AC power predominately is being used.

The unit will automatically switch between AC/DC powers. If the AC cord is plugged in, the unit will use AC power. If the AC cord is not plugged in and batteries are inserted the unit will use DC power.

3. Functions of the equipment

Radio Operation

Turning on and off

Turn on/off: To avoid unnecessary power consumption, always set the function selector to position OFF when not using the unit.

1. Use the function selector to choose an operating mode: OFF, CD/USB or TUNER.
2. Adjust the volume using the volume buttons.
3. To turn off the unit, set the function selector to position OFF.

Listening to the radio

Recommendations for a better reception:

• UKW (FM): The unit is equipped with a FM wire antenna at the rear, which should be fully uncoiled. Direct the wire antenna for a better reception.
• MW (AM): The unit has a built-in AM antenna. Change the position of the unit when the reception is poor.

Radio reception

1. Set the function selector to radio mode.
2. Use the band selector to select a frequency range: AM, FM or FM ST.

4. To turn off the unit, set the function selector to position CD/USB or OFF.

NOTES:

• If a single FM (STEREO) station is poor and you hear a lot of background noise, set the band selector to FM (MONO). This way the reception often becomes better.
• The display shows (((FM ST))) when the band selector is set to FM ST. and a stereo station is played.

CAUTION

THIS CD PLAYER IS A CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT. HOWEVER, THIS CD PLAYER USES A VISIBLE/INVISIBLE LASER BEAM, WHICH COULD CAUSE HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE IF DIRECTED. BE SURE TO OPERATE THE CD PLAYER CORRECTLY AS INSTRUCTED. USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE. TO PREVENT FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND INTERFERENCE, USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES AND DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR HUMIDITY.

SETTING A SAFE VOLUME LEVEL

• If you continually listen to loud music, your hearing gradually adapts to it and gives you the impression that the volume is lower.
  • What seems normal to you can actually be damaging.
  • To protect yourself from this, set the volume to a low level.
• Increase the volume slowly, until you can hear clearly and without problems.
• Damage to your hearing can be extensive and cannot be reversed.
• If you notice a hearing problem, please consult a doctor
