However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

PREPARATION FOR USE

UNPACKING AND SET-UP

• Carefully remove the unit from the carton and remove all packing material from the unit.
• Remove any labels or stickers which may be on the front or top of the set, but do not remove any labels from the back or bottom.
• Press the CD door OPEN button and remove the dummy CD display card from the CD compartment.
  • We suggest that you retain the original carton and packing materials in case it ever becomes necessary to return your unit for service. This is the only sure way to protect the unit from damage in transit.
• If you do dispose of the carton and packing materials, please do so properly. Emerson cares about our environment.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Playing CD's at higher volume levels increases the battery drain and shortens the battery life. Try to use AC power whenever it is available.
• You must remove the AC Power Cord from the AC Cord Socket on the back cabinet in order to operate the unit on batteries.
  • We recommend using alkaline batteries for the longest possible life.
• Change the batteries when the output of the unit becomes weak or the sound becomes distorted. Always change all six (6) batteries at the same time.
• If the unit will be stored and not used for 30 days or more it is recommended to remove the batteries from the battery compartment to reduce the possibility of damage from battery leakage or corrosion.

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.)

NOTE:

This unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. This plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC outlet. This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock.

If this plug will not fit in your AC outlet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized outlet. You should have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician.

Do not file the wide blade on the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.

PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE

This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.
