SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)  
INFORMATION:  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for  
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These  
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful  
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,  
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and  
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-  
ence to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that  
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment  
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which  
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is  
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the fol-  
lowing measures:  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to  
which the receiver is connected.  
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
• Do not open the CD compartment while the CD is rotating.  
• Always keep the CD compartment closed when not in use.  
• Keep all foreign objects out of the CD compartment.  
• Place the unit on a stable surface.  
• Avoid installing the unit in locations described below:  
• Places exposed to direct sunlight or close to heat-radiating  
appliances such as electric heaters.  
• On top of other stereo equipment that radiates too much  
heat.  
• Places lacking ventilation or dusty places.  
• Places subject to constant vibration.  
• Humid or moist places.

Dear Customer:  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of  
your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and  
excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries  
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment  
by playing it at a safe level - one that lets the sound come through loud and clear without  
annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive  
hearing.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of  
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard  
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.  
To Establish a Safe Level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without  
distortion.  
Once You Have Established a Comfortable Sound Level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.  
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.  
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since  
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer  
and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you  
avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your  
protection.

longest playing time.  
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS  
Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device:  
1. Use only the size and type of batteries specied.  
2. Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated next to  
the battery compartment. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.  
3. Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline, Rechargeable and  
Carbon-zinc) or old batteries with fresh ones.  
4. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to  
prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.  
5. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and  
rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer’s directions.)  
AC OPERATION:  
To operate the unit using AC power, connect an AC adapter (not included) to  
an AC outlet having 120V, 50/60Hz AC only. Plug the small end into the DC  
4.5V jack on the rear of the unit and connect the other end into the AC outlet.  
The batteries are automatically disconnected when the AC adapter is used.  
CAUTION: When not using AC power, disconnect the AC adapter from the

MP3 FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions  
Please read before playing an MP3 CD.  
Does the unit support packet write CD-RW?  
Yes it can. You can add or delete MP3 files without  
reformatting. It appears like a PC hard drive.  
Can the unit read regular music CDs?  
Yes it can. However you can not mix MP3s and WAV files on  
the same CD. If you do this your Portable MP3 CD Player will  
play only the MP3 files.  
Does the unit have Electronic Skip Protection built-in?  
Yes it has an anti-shock buffer (45 seconds for standard CD  
and 120 seconds for MP3 CD). What it means for the  
everyday user is that it can withstand road bumps, shaking,  
etc. There will be no skipping when you jog, or run on a tread  
mill or drive on a bumpy road.  
Can I use the MP3 extension for non-audio data files?  
No, this may result in serious malfunction and harmful noise  
interference.  
Can I mix MP3 files with other file types on the CDR?  
Yes, but your Portable MP3 CD Player will ignore those files  
and read only the MP3 files on the CDR.  
Does the unit support multi-session CDRs?  
If the MP3 CD is not finalized, you can burn a new group of  
MP3 files until the CD is full. However, you cannot play a  
CDR in this unit until it is finalized.  
Does the unit support subdirectories (subfolders)?  
Yes, the unit can read MP3 files from subfolders.  
What appears on the display when playing back MP3 CDs?  
The album, title and artist (if set when MP3 was recorded).

• Based on this layout, the first file will be “Blur01.mp3” and the last file  
will be “Twain15.mp3”.  
• “Skipped” denotes a directory which contains non-audio files only, e.g.  
jpg, wav, etc. These cannot be detected nor played on this player.  
When an album contains mixed format files, the non-MP3 files will be  
skipped.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Caring for Compact Discs  
Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the  
compact disc only by its edges. Never allow your  
ngers to come in contact with the shiny, unprinted  
side of the compact disc.  
Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to  
the compact disc label.  
Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use  
detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a  
CD cleaning kit.  
If a compact disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact disc, the CD  
is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).  
When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the  
compact disc to the outer edge of the compact disc. Never wipe in circular  
motions.  
Z
This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the  
identification logo as shown here. Other discs may not conform to  
the CD standard and may not play properly.  
Compact discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid  
damage.  
Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high  
temperatures or dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can  
warp the compact disc.
