BATTERY OPERATION (NOT INCLUDED)

Your unit operates on two (2) AA size alkaline batteries. Open the CD cover and insert the batteries in the battery compartment following the polarity diagram located inside.

RE-CHARGEABLE BATTERY OPERATION (NOT INCLUDED)

You can operate this unit with two AA rechargeable batteries. For new or exhausted rechargeable batteries, we recommend that you (refer to battery manufacturer's guide).

When operating the unit with AC adapter and non-rechargeable batteries in the compartment, please make sure to set the "charge" switch to "off" position to avoid damaging the unit.

AC ADAPTOR NOT INCLUDED

3. Unplug the AC adapter after charging.
   DO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERIES MORE THAN 24 HOURS OR MORE THAN RECOMMENDED TIME. OVERCHARGING MAY DETERIORATE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
4. If the operating time decreases drastically after the batteries have been recharged properly, purchase new rechargeable NiCd batteries.
   Do not attempt to recharge alkaline batteries. This may cause leakage and damage to the unit.
   Do not mix alkaline batteries with rechargeable batteries.

When operating the unit with AC adapter and non-rechargeable batteries in the compartment, please make sure to set the "Charge" switch to "Off" position to avoid damaging the unit (switch on unit bottom side).

MONEY SAVING TIPS

Due to the nature of CD technology, the unit uses power even when the unit is off. To extend the batteries' life, use the adapter for indoor operation or where power is supplied. Use the battery operation only when the unit is in mobile.

DBBS FUNCTION

The Dynamic Bass Boost System (DBBS) enhances the low frequency (Bass) response of the output. Set the Volume to low level and set the DBBS switch to ON position to turn this function on.

Note: Some CDs with DBBS may exceed the bass response capacity and can cause distortion. Do not play DBBS in high volume. Playing with DBBS in high volume may cause damage to the headphone and more importantly to your hearing.

HOLD FUNCTION

This HOLD function prevents any unwanted function changes during PLAY or STOP mode. Slide HOLD switch to the arrow direction (or opposite) to turn the function ON (OFF). No other function buttons operate on HOLD mode, except DBBS function.

Hearing experts advise against the constant use of personal stereos played at high volume. Constant high volume use can lead to hearing loss. If you experience ringing in the ears or hearing loss, discontinue use and seek medical advise.
