POWER SOURCES
This unit operates on AC 120V~ 60Hz or 8 pieces of 1.5V “C” (UM-2) batteries (Not included).
Do not attempt to operate the radio on any other power source. You could cause damage to the
unit and void your warranty.
Please be sure the power outlet you plug this unit into is working and receives constant
(unswitched) power.
A. BATTERY
OPERATION
Note:
For better performance and longer operating time, we recommend the use of alkaline-type
batteries.
1.
Remove the Battery Door.
2.
Following the polarity diagram as shown in the battery compartment insert 8 x ‘LR14’ (‘C')
batteries then replace the battery door.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure that the batteries are installed correctly. Wrong polarity may
damage the unit.
3.
Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
4.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
5.
Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
6.
If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. Old or
leaking batteries can cause damage to the unit and may void the warranty.
7.
Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and
rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer’s directions).
8.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire, batteries may leak or explode.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
When the output sound of this unit becomes distorted or the CD player operation appears
unstable, the batteries are weak. You need to replace all the exhausted batteries at the same
time as soon as possible to avoid battery leakage.
B. AC
OPERATION
When the AC power cord (included) is connected to the AC INPUT Socket at the back of
the unit and the other end to a wall outlet with AC 120V ~ 60Hz power supply, the unit will
disconnect the batteries automatically, and operate from AC power instead.
IMPORTANT:
This unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow
blade. This plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC outlet. This is a
safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If this plug will
not fit in your AC outlet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized
outlet. You should have your out-dated outlet changed by a qualified,
licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug, or use an
adaptor to make the plug fit onto your outlet. This defeats the safety
feature and could expose you to electric shock.
