ECO-PLUS NiMH battery information (for versions supplied with the rechargeable ECO-PLUS NiMH battery AY 3362)

Recharging works only on players supplied with the rechargeable ECO-PLUS NiMH battery AY 3362.

Recharging the ECO-PLUS NiMH battery on board

1 Insert the rechargeable ECO-PLUS NiMH battery AY 3362.
2 Connect the mains adapter to the 4.5V DC socket of the player and then to the wall socket.

is shown and C H A R C E is displayed for 5 seconds.

• Recharging stops after a maximum of 7 hours, or when you start playback.
  3 When the battery is fully recharged, and FULL appear briefly in the display, before the display switches off.

Notes: - It is normal for the batteries to become warm during recharging.

• If the batteries become too warm, recharging will be interrupted for approximately 30 minutes and H2 O2 is displayed.
• To ensure proper recharging on board, take care that contacts are clean.
• Use only the ECO-PLUS NiMH battery AY 3362.

Handling instructions

• Recharging already charged or half-charged batteries will shorten their lifetime. We therefore recommend that you let the rechargeable ECO-PLUS NiMH battery run till it is completely empty before you recharge it.
• To avoid a short circuit, do not let the battery touch any metal object.
• If the battery becomes empty soon after recharging, then either its contacts are dirty or it has reached the end of its lifetime.

Mains adapter (supplied or optionally available)

Use only the AY 3170 adapter (4.5 V/300 mA direct current, positive pole to the centre pin). Any other product may damage the player.

1 Make sure that the adapter's voltage corresponds to the local voltage.
2 Connect the adapter to the 4.5V DC socket of the player and to the wall socket.

Note: Always disconnect the adapter when you are not using it.

Belt Clip (not on all versions)

1 To attach the belt clip to the CD-player, position the shaped grip (found on the back of the belt clip) so that it fits into the belt clip hole of the CD-player.
2 Turn the clip to LOCK as indicated on the set.
3 To detach, gently lift the belt clip and turn to RELEASE as indicated on the set.

Environmental information

• All redundant packing material has been omitted. We have done our utmost to make the packaging easily separable into two mono materials: cardboard (box) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).
• Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packing materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

CD-player and CD handling

• Do not touch the lens (A) of the CD-player.
• Do not expose the set, batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).
• You can clean the CD-player with a soft, slightly dampened, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect.
• To clean the CD, wipe it in a straight line from the centre towards the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. A cleaning agent may damage the disc! Never write on a CD or attach a sticker to it.
• The lens may cloud over when the set is moved suddenly from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD is not possible then. Leave the CD-player in a warm environment until the moisture has evaporated.
  Active mobile phones in the vicinity of the CD-player may cause malfunctions.
• Avoid dropping the set as this may cause damage.

Headphones HE 545

Note: LINE OUT/ can also be used for connecting the player to your HiFi system (with a signal lead) or to your car radio (with a cassette adapter or signal lead). In both cases, the volume of the player must be set to position 8.

Use your head when using headphones

Hearing safety: Do not play your headphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise that continuous use at high volume can permanently damage your hearing.

ESP

Conventional portable CD-players subjected to a shock or vibration during playback often skip parts of the CD. The ELECTRONIC SKIP PROTECTION (ESP) feature, with which your set is equipped, however, prevents such loss of continuity when your player is subjected to light vibrations. But ESP does not prevent playback interruptions caused by vigorous exercise. Nor does it protect against damage resulting from the player being dropped!

• Press ESP during playback to activate the skip protection.
  ESP is shown and the protection is activated.
• To deactivate the skip protection, press ESP again.
  ESP goes off and the protection is deactivated.

In-car use (connections supplied or optionally available)

Only use the AY 3545 car voltage converter (4.5V, DC, positive pole to the centre pin) and the AY 3501 car cassette adapter. Any other product may damage the set.

1 Put the CD-player on a horizontal, vibration-free and stable surface. Make sure it is in a safe place, where the

player is neither a danger nor obstacle to either driver or passenger.

2 Connect the DC plug of the voltage converter to the 4.5V DC socket of the CDplayer (only for a 12V car battery, negative grounding).
3 Insert the voltage converter into the cigarette lighter socket. If necessary, clean the cigarette lighter socket to obtain a good electrical contact.
4 Turn down the volume and connect the cassette adapter plug to the LINE OUT/ socket of the CD player.
5 Carefully insert the cassette adapter into the car radio's cassette compartment.
6 Make sure the cord does not hinder your driving.
7 Start the CD-player, set VOL to position 8 and adjust the sound with the car radio controls.
- Always remove the voltage converter from the cigarette lighter socket when the CD-player is not in use.

Note: - Avoid excessive heat from the car heating or from direct sunlight (e.g. in a parked car in the summer).

• If your car radio has a LINE IN socket, it is better to use this instead of the cassette adapter. Simply connect a signal lead from the LINE OUT/ socket of the CD-player to this LINE IN socket.
