PREPARATION FOR USE

POWER SUPPLY

Your shower Radio/CD player is designed to operate on 8 "AA" alkaline batteries, not included. It can also be operated an optional AC adapter that can be purchased wherever electronic accessories are sold.

AC Operation (Adapter Not Included)

The DC Input Jack is located on the back cabinet and covered by a water resistant silicon gasket. Lift the left side of the gasket to expose the jack but do not completely remove the gasket from the cabinet.

If you decide to purchase an optional AC adapter we recommend that you buy the "Universal" type adapter that includes several different size plugs to fit the most popular size input jacks, and also allows you to change the output voltage setting. These "Universal" AC adapters are available at Radio Shack stores and wherever electronic accessories are sold.

The adapter for your shower Radio/CD Player should have the following specification:

Input Voltage: 120V AC 60Hz.

Output Voltage: 9V DC, 500mA.

Plug Type: Center pin 2 mm, Female Type with Positive Center.

Insert the small end of the plug into the DC Input Jack on the back cabinet of your radio. Then connect the adapter to your household outlet.

AC 120V 60Hz Outlet AC/DC Adapter (Optional)

Note: When the AC adapter is connected to the back of the radio the batteries are automatically disconnected. You must disconnect the AC adapter from the back of the radio in order to operate the radio on batteries.

IMPORTANT: NEVER USE THE AC ADAPTER WHEN THE RADIO IS BEING USED INSIDE THE SHOWER. USE THE AC ADAPTER ONLY WHEN THE RADIO IS NOT EXPOSED TO EXCESS WATER OR MOISTURE. NEVER TOUCH THE AC ADAPTER WITH WET HANDS.

Fog Free Mirror

For safety reasons the "mirror" in this radio is made of polycarbonate (plastic) material, not glass.

Placement of Your Radio

Your radio is equipped with an adjustable hanger rope to hang the radio from the shower pipe, faucet, or a hook on the back of the bathroom door.

Notes:

- Although this radio is water resistant it should not be placed in the direct path of the shower stream.

Note: When using headphones reduce the volume to a low level before you put the headphones on. Then put the headphones on and gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.

After disconnecting the headphones be sure to re-seal the headphone jack with the silicon rubber gasket to prevent water or moisture from entering the cabinet.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

When the sound output becomes weak or distorted it's time to replace the batteries. Always use a well-known brand of alkaline batteries and replace all 8 batteries at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries, and do not mix different types of batteries such as alkaline and heavy-duty carbon-zinc batteries together.

If the unit will not be used for a long period of time (30 days or longer) it's a good idea to remove the batteries to prevent possible damage to the unit 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.)

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not attempt any adjustments other than those described in the manual. Refer all other problems to qualified service personnel.

CARE OF THE CABINET

If the cabinet becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints it may be cleaned with a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never use abrasive cloths or polishes as these will mar the finish of your unit.

CAUTION:

Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
