POWER SUPPLY / GENERAL INFORMATION

Use only a 

4.5 V adapter

(300 mA direct current, positive pole to the center pin).

Any other kind of adapter may damage the player.

1

Make sure the local voltage corresponds to the power

adapter’s voltage.

2

Connect the power adapter to the 4.5V DC jack of the

player and to the wall outlet.

Note: Always disconnect the adapter when you are not

using it.

Environmental information

• All redundant packing material has been omitted. We have done our utmost to

make the packaging easily separable into two 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, dead batteries and old equipment.

GENERAL INFORMATION / CD PLAY

Only use 

a 

4.5 V DC

car 

voltage converter (positive pole to the center pin) and

cassette car adapter. Any other converter may damage the set.

1

Put the set on a horizontal, vibration-free and stable surface. Make sure it is

in a safe place, where the set is neither a dan-

ger nor an 

obstacle to the driver and the passengers.

2

Plug the voltage converter into the 

cigarette lighter jack 

(only for 12 V car 

battery, negative grounding)

, then connect

the wired end with 4.5V DC input jack on the

set.

3

If necessary, clean the cigarette lighter jack to

obtain a good electrical contact.

4

Turn down the volume and connect the cassette adapter plug to LINE OUT/

p

on the set.

5

Carefully insert the cassette adapter into the car radio’s cassette compartment.

6

Make sure the cord does not hinder your driving.

Decease the volume on the set, if necessary. Start playback on the set and

adjust the sound with the car radio controls.

•

Always remove the voltage converter from the cigarette lighter jack-

when the set is not in use.

Note: If your car radio has a LINE IN jack, it is better to use it for the 

car radio connection instead of the cassette.adapter. Connect the signal

lead to this LINE IN jack and to LINE OUT/

p

on the set.
