Note: To prevent loss the battery cover cannot be completely removed from the player.

3.) Insert two fresh "AA" alkaline batteries in the battery compartment. Be sure to follow the polarity makings in the battery compartment. If the batteries are inserted incorrectly the unit will not work.
4.) Close the battery compartment cover and make sure that it is locked in place so that it does not come in contact with a CD.

WHEN TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES

When the Battery Indicator flashes in the display the batteries are getting weak and should be changed as soon as possible. Do not leave weak or exhausted batteries in the player as they will eventually leak and cause corrosion inside the battery compartment.

USING AN OPTIONAL AC/DC ADAPTER

If you decide to purchase an optional AC adapter the specification should be as follows:

Input Voltage: 120V/60Hz AC.

Output Voltage: 4.5V DC 500mA.

Plug Type: Center-pin 1.3mm Female Plug with Positive (+) Center

Positive (+) —●— Negative (−)

You may also purchase a “Universal” type AC adapter that allows you to select the desired output voltage, and normally includes several of the most popular plug sizes. Make sure that the adapter you purchase is “UL Listed”. Look for the “UL” mark on the packaging and on the adapter itself.

Connect the adapter housing directly to a 120V AC outlet. Connect the appropriate adapter plug to the "DC Input 4.5V" jack on the side of the CD player. Remove the rubber cap from the Input jack before connecting the adapter plug. Replace the rubber cap when the adapter plug is removed from the player.

VOLUME HOLD 120V/60Hz AC OUTLET 4.5V DC AC/DC ADAPTER (OPTIONAL)

Notes:

• The housing of the adapter may become warm during operation. This is normal.
• Never insert or remove the adapter housing from the AC outlet while your hands are wet.
• The adapter plug must be completely disconnected from the CD player in order to operate the player on batteries.

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS

Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device:
1. Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
2. Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in the battery compartment. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.
3. Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-Zinc) or old batteries with fresh ones.
4. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.
5. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture (Follow battery manufacturer's directions.)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This personal CD player is designed to be "water-resistant". Jogging with this product in the rain will not cause any problems. However this product is not "water-proof" and should never be immersed in water. Extra care should taken to prevent water from getting inside the cabinet while loading or unloading CD's, or while changing the batteries. In addition, the rubber plugs which cover the headphone jack and the DC Input jack should remain sealed when those jacks are not in use. After jogging with this model in the rain please wipe excess moisture off the cabinet with a soft, dry towel before putting the model away for storage.

The lightweight stereo headphones supplied with this CD player have ear-pieces designed to fit directly into your ear. Be sure to observe the "L" (Left) and "R" (Right) markings on the ear-pieces to make sure that you put the headphones on correctly. Always set the VOLUME control to a low level before putting on the earphones, and then gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.

BASS BOOST

This personal CD player has a 2-level Bass Boost control. To increase the bass response press the BASS BOOST button. The "BASS 1" indicator appears in the display. Press again for maximum bass enhancement. The "BASS 2" indicator appears in the display. To cancel Bass Boost press the BASS BOOST button until the "BASS 1/2" indicators no longer appear in the display.

PLAYING COMPACT DISCS

IMPORTANT:

This CD player can play normal CDs plus CD Recordable (CD-R) and CD Rewriteable (CD-RW) discs. However the playability of CD-R and CD-RW discs may be affected by the type of software that was used in 'ripping' the tracks from the original discs and 'burning' the tracks onto the blank media. Playability may also be affected by the quality and condition of the blank media you use for recording. 100% compatibility cannot be guaranteed. This is not an indication of any problems with your player.

NORMAL PLAYBACK

1.) Open the CD door locking hinge, and open the CD door.
2.) Place your CD, CD-R, or CD-RW disc on the center spindle with the printed label side facing up. Gently press down on the disc near the center hole to make sure that the disc is properly 'seated' on the spindle.

CD-ROM moos

3.) Close the CD door and the door locking hinge.

4.) Press the PLAY/PAUSE ▶ button. The Player will read the contents of the disc and the display will show the total tracks and playing time, then playback begins on track # 1.

Note: If the disc is inserted upside down, no disc or the disc is badly scratched the display will show "disc".

If this occurs, re-load the disc correctly or try another disc.

5.) Put on the lightweight stereo headphones and adjust the VOLUME and BASS BOOST controls as desired.
6.) Playback will continue to the end of the disc. As each track is played the display will show the track number and the elapsed playing time of that track. After the last track has played the player stops and the display again shows the total tracks and total playing time on the disc. After several seconds the power shuts off automatically to conserve battery life and the display goes blank.
7.) To stop playback before the disc ends press the STOP ■ button at any time. Playback stops and the display shows the total tracks and playing time. Press the STOP ■ button again to shut the power off. The display goes blank. Open the CD door and remove your disc.

PAUSE Control

To pause playback momentarily press the PLAY/PAUSE ▶■ button again. Playback

stops but the disc continues to spin and the CD time display flashes. Press the PLAY/PAUSE ▶ button again to cancel pause and resume playback.

SKIP/Search (▶) Controls

To skip to higher or lower numbered tracks during playback press the ▶▶ or ◀◀ buttons repeatedly until the desired track number appears in the display. Playback will begin on the desired track.

During playback, to search forward or backward within a track to locate a specific musical passage press and hold the ▶▶ or ◀◀ buttons. The player will move rapidly forward or backward. When you hear the desired passage release the ▶▶ or ◀◀ buttons and normal speed playback will resume at that point.

HOLD Switch

The HOLD switch locks all of the other controls buttons. If you are carrying the CD player in a backpack, handbag, gym bag, etc, set the HOLD switch to the 'On' position to prevent it from starting accidentally by something pressing against the PLAY/PAUSE ▶ button. Likewise, once you start CD playback you can set the HOLD switch to the 'On' position to prevent you from accidentally pressing the STOP ■ button or the SKIP/Search ▶/◀◀ buttons while you are carrying or jogging with the player. Remember that to use any of the other controls the HOLD

switch must be set to the 'Off' position.

Anti-Skip Protection (ASP)

This player includes a 45 second Anti Skip Protection circuit that prevents the CD from skipping during most active uses. ASP is activated automatically when playback begins. The Anti Skip indicator appears in the display and begins to fill with a series of 'bars' 📁.

When the Anti Skip indicator contains 5 bars this indicates that the electronic memory contains 45 seconds of music. If the player is bumped or shaken the music will not skip, but one or more of the bars may disappear indicating that the memory is being depleted. If all 5 bars disappear the Anti Skip memory is empty. If the player is continuously bumped or shaken while the Anti Skip memory is empty the music may skip or the CD may stop completely.

Note: The Anti Skip memory circuit consumes additional battery power. So if you are using the player in a stable location where it will not be subject to bumps and shock, press the ASP button to shut the anti-skip memory 'Off'. The ASP indicator disappears from the display.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE CABINET

Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the cloth with a weak solution of neutral detergent and water, and then wipe clean.

CLEANING THE LENS

A dirty lens will cause sound skipping and, if the lens is very dirty, the CD may not work. Open the disc cover and clean the lens as follows:

DUST OR DRY PARTICLES

Using a camera lens brush/blower, blow on the lens several times, then wipe it lightly with the brush to remove dust. Then, blow on the lens once more.
