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

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.

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 danger nor an

obstacle to the driver and the passengers.

2

lighter jack

(only for 12 V car battery,

negative grounding)

, then connect the wired

end with 4.5V DC input jack on the set.

If necessary, clean the cigarette lighter jack to

obtain a good electrical contact.
