NOTE ON ALKALINE BATTERIES

1.When replacing the alkaline batteries, use two new batteries of the same type. Do not mix a used battery with a new one or mix different types of batteries

2.When inserting the batteries, be sure to place the batteries as the sketch shown, mistakenly inserting even one with improper polarity will cause leakage.

3.When notuse the unit for an extended period of time, or not use the batteries for à long time, remove them to prevent possible acid leakage or corrosion resulting in damage to your player or personal injury such as skin burns.

4.Bear in mind that battery life expectancy is based upon playing mode. Maximum battery power consumption happens at maximum settings. If sound gets dis- torted or ifthe unit fails to switch tracks, your batteries are weak. Replace both batteries, or use AC adaptor.

5. Never charge, heat, disassemble, or throw batteries into a fire.

6.Ifthe display shows the symbol “3”, this means your batteries are weak, re- place them or use the AC adaptor.

7.Ifthe display is blank - no numbers show when power is tumed on, the batteries are dead Replace them or use the AC adapter.

CHARGING AND USE OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES This unit can fully recharge the specified rechargeable batteries, in approximately 15 hours. The rechargeable batteries (NOT supplied) should be recharged before they are used for the firsttime or they have not been used for a long period of time because they are low in power (over 60 days). 1.Open the battery compartment cover and insert two of the recommended re- chargeable batteries, matching polarity. (1.2V 650mA) ALL BATTERIES MUST BE OF RECHARGEABLE NICKEL-CADMIUM TYPE, OTHERWISE THE BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK 2.Plug in the AC ADAPTOR. 3.Slide the charge switch to CHARGE position to start charging. USE ONLY THE AC ADAPTOR FOR CHARGING. 4. After 15 hours, please unplug the AC ADAP TOR and slide the recharge switch to normal position. DO NOT CHARGE CONTINUOUSLY FOR 24 HOURS OR MORE. DOING 50 CAN CAUSE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES TO DETERIORATE NOTE: You may play DISC'S whilst charging the batteries. Ifthe operating time decreases drastically even when the rechargeable nickel-cad- mium batteries are properly recharged, purchase à new set of rechargeable nickel- cadmium batteries. When charging for the first time or after a long time, playing time may be reduced. In this case, charge and discharge the batteries several times.

1.When the ESP button is pressed during play, the L] indicator appears in the display and the digital anti-skip function turns on. The digital data equivalent to approximately 3 seconds (45 seconds) of music is stored in a read-ahead memory buffer before itis decoded and played. The display changes from the L_] markto the Æ mark, indicating that the data has been stored.

When the unit is subjected to à shock during play, the data stored in memory continues to be decoded and continue reading new data. As the data is read from memory, the indicator changes to |] . Once the pickup retums to its original posiion, neu data is storedin mena and he display changes back to the mar

If the set is subjected to repeated shocks and all the data stored in memory is used up, the LJ mark is displayed and the sound will skip or stop for a brief period until the memory base ills up again.

HANDLING COMPACT DISCS LCOMPACT 1. This unitis designed to play compact discs bearing the identifica- dise tion logo to the right. Discs that do not carry this logo may not PARU conform to the CD standard and may not play properly. Dirty, scratched or warped discs may cause skipping or noise. Pay attention to the following: Handle the disc only by the edges. To keep the disc clean, do not touch the surface of the disc. Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to skip. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc. Do not stick or write anything on either side of the compact disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the inks used in some felktip pens, may damage the surfaces of the disc. 6.Always place the compact disc to the in the CD compartment with the label fac- ing upward. CD can be played on only one side.

CLEANING DISCS 1. Fingerprints should be wiped from the surface ofthe disc with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gentiy wiping them with cloth should remove most of the particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.

Never use such chemicals as record cleaning sprays, anti- static sprays, benzene or thinner to clean compact disc. Such chemicals can damage the plastic of the disc.

The unit will not play a disc that has been inserted upside down, or discs that do not conform to the Compact Disc standard. Also, the unit might not play discs that are scratched, soiled or carry fingerprints.
