Place the MP3-CD player, be it for stationary use, - e.g. at home or when en route, on a level, smooth non-slip base so that the CD player cannot slip. This applies particularly when the CD player is operated in a car.

To prevent damage, functional interference and the danger of an electric shock do not use the set ...

• ... In the immediate vicinity of heat sources such as stoves, fan heaters and similar appliances! Exposure to heat can cause the set to overheat and the risk of melting plastic parts, thereby causing irreparable damage!

Do not leave the MP3-CD player at high temperatures in the car, particularly on sunny days when the interior of the car can become very hot!

Ensure that the MP3-CD player is not exposed to direct sunlight in a car (e.g. directly behind the windscreen).

Warning!

Set overheating gives rise to the danger of a fire!

• ... In damp surroundings, for instance in basements or in a sauna! Moisture entering the CD player can cause functional problems and irreparable damage!
• ... Not in the immediate vicinity of water, for instance in a bathroom or near a swimming pool. Never place any water-filled containers, for instance a flower vase, on the CD player.

Warning!

Moisture entering the CD player can result in the danger of electric shock!

Please note!

No liability/warranty is accepted for damage to the player as a result of the following:

• Exposure to moisture
  Water entering the set

1 Insert the plug on the cable of the mains adapter in the "DC 4.5V" socket on the left-hand side of the portable MP3-CD player.
2 Plug the mains adapter into a mains socket. The Portable MP3-CD player is automatically switched over to mains operation. This means that any batteries which may be in the battery compartment do not have to be removed.

The portable CD player is now operational.

Warning!

The use of unsuitable mains cables from other appliances can give rise to the danger of an electric shock!

Please note!

Only use the supplied mains adapter to connect the Portable MP3-CD player to the mains! The use of mains adapters that were not intended for the Portable MP3-CD player can result in irreparable damage to the player!

2 Open the CD compartment by pushing the "OPEN" slide to the right.
3 Open the battery compartment cover inside the CD compartment and remove.
4 Place the supplied rechargeable NiCd batteries (AA-type, 1.2 V), or conventional NiMh batteries (AA-type, 1.5 V, non-rechargeable) in the battery compartment. Ensure that the batteries are inserted into the battery compartment according to their polarity – as indicated inside the battery compartment

Warning!

Never try to recharge conventional, non-rechargeable NiMh batteries! Ensure that the "CHARGE" slide on the underside

of the MP3-CD player is definitely set at "OFF" beforehand otherwise the player and the batteries will suffer irreparable damage!

5 Return the battery compartment cover and press down until it becomes audibly locked in place. Close the CD compartment by pressing down the cover until it is audibly locked in place.

The portable CD player is now operational.

7.1.2.1. Exchanging batteries

The batteries must be exchanged when the battery symbol on the LCD display flashes.

Always exchange both batteries to operate the Portable MP3-CD player with full power or connect the player with the mains adapter to the mains socket.

Please note:

Spent batteries must not be disposed of in the domestic waste. Hand in spent batteries at collecting or waste-disposal points or return them to the place where they were purchased. If you eventually dispose of the Portable MP3-CD player yourself, then ensure that the batteries are removed beforehand!

7.1.2.2. Charging rechargeable batteries

Rechargeable NiCd batteries, AA-type 1.5 V, can be recharged in the battery compartment of the MP3-CD player within approx. 15 hours.

Rechargeable batteries must first be recharged prior to their use if they are ...

• New (as the included batteries) or
• Have not been used for an extended period (more than 60 days).

Proceed as follows to charge the rechargeable batteries in the MP3-CD player ...

1 Open the CD compartment by pushing to the right the "OPEN" slide on the front of the CD player.
2 Open the battery compartment inside the CD compartment and insert two rechargeable NiCd batteries, AA-type 1.2V , in the battery compartment. Ensure that the batteries are inserted into the battery compartment according to their polarity – as indicated inside the battery compartment.
3 Return the battery compartment cover and press down until it is audibly locked in place. Close the CD compartment by pressing down the cover until it is audibly locked in place.
4 Insert the plug on the mains adapter cable into the "DC

4.5V" socket on the left-hand side of the Portable MP3-CD player.

6 To start charging the batteries set "ON" with the "CHARGE" slide on the underside of the MP3-CD player. The "CHARGE" display on the left-hand side will now light up in red.

Warning!

Only use the supplied mains adapter to charge the rechargeable batteries in the MP3-CD player!

Battery charging continues ...

During CD playback or
after the MP3-CD player has been switched off.

7 After 15 hours charging set "OFF" with the "CHARGE" slide and disconnect the mains adapter from the mains socket.

Info:

Rechargeable batteries should always be fully discharged before they are recharged, otherwise they can suffer a serious decline of their storage capacity (Memory Effect)!

If the performance of the MP3-CD player declines drastically during battery operation, even through the rechargeable

batteries have been correctly recharged, then all batteries should be exchanged for new rechargeable NiCd batteries or non-rechargeable NiMh batteries.

Following first-time charging, or if the CD player has not been used for an extended period, the playback time may be shorter. In this case the batteries should be fully discharged and fully recharged several times.

8. Conventional audio CDs

8.1. Playback

1 Open the CD compartment by pushing to the right the "OPEN" slide on the front of the player.

Prior to first-time use:

Remove the cardboard transport protection from the CD compartment.

2 Insert the jack plug of the supplied headphones into the "PHONES" socket on the right-hand side of the MP3-CD player.
3 Place a CD - label side up - on the axle in the middle of the CD compartment. Press the CD down lightly until it is perceptibly engaged.
4 Close the CD compartment by pressing down the cover until it is perceptibly engaged.

5 Press the "PLAY/PAUSE" button. "READING" now appears on the display and the MP3-CD player now reads in the information from the loaded CD.

The first track of the loaded audio CD is then automatically played.

The following is indicated on the display:

Info

ESP is the abbreviation for "Electronic Shock Protection" system of the eBench KH 2257/2258/2259/2260 Portable MP3-CD Player. The ESP system is automatically switched on when playing audio and MP3 CDs. The system ensures that playback of CDs, MP3-CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs is not impaired when the player is exposed to shocks and vibrations.

The digital data of the loaded CD, equalling a playback period of 40 seconds, is temporarily stored in a read-ahead memory buffer. As soon as this memory is full – recognisable by the bar in the memory display of the LCD display – the

next data from the loaded CD is overwritten (once again 40 seconds of playback).

If the player is exposed to a shock during playback, then the data stored in the read-ahead memory buffer is read out for interference-free playback. This gives the laser scanner time to re-stabilise and read in new data from the CD. After the data from the read-ahead memory buffer have been collected, new data are transferred to the memory.

Please note!

The ESP system cannot prevent damage to the MP3-CD player as a result of jolts or vibrations or if the player is dropped! Ensure that the MP3-CD player is transported or stands as vibration-free as possible and that it cannot fall down from its location point.

The MP3 DC player can be irreparably damaged by shocks and vibrations or if it falls down!

6 The first track on the audio CD is then played.

The following is then possible ...

8.2. Setting the playback volume

Set the required playback volume with "VOLUME+" (for louder) and "VOLUME -" (for softer). The currently set volume is indicated between "Volume 01" (sound OFF) and "Volume 32" (maximum volume).

8.3. Switching on Bass Boost

Switching on the Bass Boost system ensures more faithful rendi tion of the low frequencies (bass) to produce a more "saturated" sound of greater volume.

Set "ON" with the "Bass Boost" slide on the left-hand side of the MP3-CD player to switch on the Bass Boost system.

Set "OFF" with the "Bass Boost" slide to switch off the Bass Boost system.
