Switch adapted!
We’ve adapted this compact and portable boom box making it accessible to
everyone. It features a CD player, cassette player and recorder, AM-FM radio with
30 station pre-sets, and a Mega bass sound system. It also has a large LCD display.
Activate your switch once to turn ON the Radio, Tape or CD player, activate it a
second time to turn the selected function OFF. This Boom Box will run on batteries
or AC power. Size: 14"L x 5 1/2"D x 9 1/2"H. Requires Capability Switch and 6 C
Batteries. Also comes with A/C Wall Outlet Plug.
Operation:
1.
The CD boom box requires 6 “C” batteries (not included) or the supplied AC
power adapter to operate. Install the batteries, with careful attention to the
battery polarity. Be sure the + and - poles are facing in the correct directions as
shown in the battery compartment. When using batteries only use alkaline
batteries only (e.g. Duracell or Energizer). Do not use heavy duty or
rechargeable as they will not work.
2.
The CD Boom Box can also be run on AC power with the included wall
transformer. Simply plug the pin at one end of the transformer cord into the jack
directly in the back of the Boom Box. Plug the other end into an AC wall outlet.
Note:
Do not mix new batteries with old ones.
