General safety instructions

To avoid the risk of fire or an electric shock, you should not expose the device to rain or moisture. Consequently, do not use the device in the immediate vicinity of water - for example near a bath tub, a swimming pool or in a damp cellar.

Use the device only for the intended purpose.

Only connect the device at a properly installed plug socket. Pay attention that the specified voltage corresponds to the voltage of the plug socket.

When using external mains supply, pay attention to the correct polarity and voltage. Always place the batteries in the correct direction.

Assemble the device in such a way that the available ventilation openings are not covered.

Never open the housing of the device. Incorrect repairs can constitute a considerable risk for the user. Should the device become damaged, in particular the mains supply cable, do not operate the device any longer, but rather have it repaired by an expert. Check the mains supply cable regularly for damage.

For safety reasons a broken or damaged mains lead may only be replaced by an equivalent lead from the manufacturer, our customer service department or a similar qualified person.

If the device is not used for a longer period, remove the plug connector from the plug socket or take out the batteries.

These symbols may be found on the machine and are intended to indicate the following:

The lightning symbol should advise the user of parts in the inside of the device which carry dangerously high voltage levels.

The symbol with an exclamation mark should advise the user of important operation or maintenance instructions in the accompanying documentation.

Devices bearing this symbol work with a „class 1 laser“ for tracing the CD. The built-in safety switches should prevent the user being

exposed to dangerous laser light, which is invisible to the human eye, when the CD compartment is opened.

Under no circumstances should these safety switches be bypassed or manipulated, as this could result in a danger of exposure to the laser light.

Special safety information

This device works with a class 1 laser.

Initial Use of the Device

Inserting the Batteries (not supplied)

• Open the battery compartment (17) on the back.
• Insert two 1.5 V batteries of type AA. Ensure the correct polarity (see the bottom of the battery compartment or the imprint on the outside).
• If the device is not used for a prolonged period, please remove the batteries in order to avoid the leakage of battery acid.
• A battery symbol in the display indicates that the batteries need to be replaced. Always replace a complete set of batteries and not just one.

Note: Batteries should not be disposed of in the domestic waste. Please return used batteries to the appropriate collection points or the dealer where you bought them.

Batteries must never be thrown into a fi re.

Batteries in the Remote Control

The battery in the remote control is a long-life lithium cell. If the range of the remote control decreases, please proceed as follows:

• Open the battery compartment on the side of the remote control.
• Replace the cell with a battery of the same type. Ensure the correct polarity.
• Close the battery compartment.

Mains Operation

It is possible to operate the device using the mains power unit.

1. Insert the plug of the power unit into a correctly installed 230V, 50 Hz wall socket.
2. Connect the CD player to the power unit by inserting the plug of the power unit into the DC 4.5 V socket.
3. When using a power unit (DC 4.5V/700mA) ensure the correct polarity according to the inscriptions on the CD player.

Car Operating Mode

Thanks to the adapter cassette and the cigarette lighter adapter the CD player can be used on your car radio with the cassette adapter.

1. Insert the cigarette lighter adapter in the cigarette lighter and the jack at the end of the cable into the 4.5V/DC socket of the CD player.
2. Insert the jack of the adapter cassette into the AV OUT socket (12) of the CD player.
3. Switch on your car radio and insert the adapter cassette into the cassette deck. Make sure that the connector cable of the adapter cassette is inserted correctly into the cassette slot! The cassette mechanism may jam!

Some car radios may eject the adapter cassette immediately after inserting it. In this case fi t the cassette's connector cable along the slot and insert the cassette turned over on the other side. If the car radio ejects the adapter cassette again, the adapter cassette cannot be used.
