Cautions  
To avoid draining your car battery  
– Disconnect the Car DC Adaptor from the cigarette lighter after use. The Car DC Adaptor continues to consume some power even if it is not being  
used, and if a battery pack is attached to this unit, it will start recharging which uses more power.  
– Do not use the Car DC Adaptor for long periods when the engine is not running.  
Turn the unit off before stopping the engine while using Car DC Adaptor, otherwise resume play (6) may not work.  
Leave some slack in the cord.  
No responsibility will be taken for damage that occurs due to faulty installation.  
You can enjoy audio through your car audio system by connecting a car stereo cassette adaptor (not included) to the  
headphone jack on the left side of this unit.
