covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer  
all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are  
provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product  
and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked

should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat source. This  
product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a  
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the  
manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.  
19. REPLACEMENT PARTS  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician  
uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that  
have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized  
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.  
20. SAFETY CHECK  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the  
service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the  
product is in proper operating condition.  
10. POWER SOURCES  
This product should be operated only from the type of power source  
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power  
supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power  
company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or  
other sources, refer to the operating instructions.  
21. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING  
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as  
recommended by the manufacturer.  
22. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE  
Unplug the product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified  
service personnel under the following conditions:  
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION  
This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug  
(a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the  
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to  
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug  
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete  
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION  
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.  
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.  
c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. If the product does not operate normally by following the operating  
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the  
operating instructions, as an adjustment of other controls may result  
in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified  
technician to restore the product to its normal operation.  
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.  
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be  
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying  
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the  
point where they exit from the appliance.  
f.  
When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this  
indicates a need for service.  
13. LIGHTNING  
23. HEAT  
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as  
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers)  
that produce heat.  
24. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER  
To protect your product from a lightning storm, or when it is left  
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall  
outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent  
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.  
14. POWER LINES  
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention  
to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper  
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be  
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point  
of cable entry as practical.  
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of  
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it  
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside  
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching  
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

PREPARATION FOR USE  
Unpacking and Setup  
Carefully remove the unit from the display carton and remove all packing material from the unit itself.  
The detachable AC power cord is packed in the carton separately from the unit. Make sure that the AC  
power cord is not accidentally discarded with the carton or packing material.  
Press the OPEN/CLOSE area to open the CD compartment door. There is a white card in the CD  
compartment which is intended to prevent the CD pickup from moving during shipment of the product.  
Remove this card from the CD compartment before use.  
Power Sources  
This portable audio system is designed to operate on either 110-120V AC 60Hz house current DC or by  
using eight (8) ‘C’ batteries, not included. Attempting to operate this unit from any other power source may  
cause damage to the unit, which is not covered by your warranty.  
AC Operation  
Unwind the AC cord and extend it to its full length. Insert the small end of  
the AC cord into the AC socket on the rear of the unit. Insert the other  
end of the AC cord into any convenient 110-120V 60Hz household outlet.  
Please note that this unit is equipped with a polarized AC plug which has  
one blade wider than the other. This is a safety feature to reduce the  
likelihood of electric shock. This polarized AC plug will only fit in a  
polarized AC outlet. If you find that you cannot insert this plug into your outlet, you may have an obsolete  
non-polarized outlet. Please do not try to defeat this safety feature by using a non-polarized adapter or by  
filing the wider blade to make it fit into your outlet. If this plug does not fit into your outlet, you should contact  
a qualified licensed electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.  
Battery Installation  
To use this unit with battery power, remove the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit by sliding it  
towards the rear of the unit and lifting the battery door off. Insert eight (8) ‘C’ size batteries following the  
diagram in the compartment.  
NOTE: The AC power cord must be disconnected from the AC socket on the rear of the unit in order for the  
unit to operate on battery power.
