Important safety information!
To avoid fatal danger through electric
shocks:
To avoid fire hazard and the danger of
injuries:
• Make sure that the power cable does not
get wet or damp during operation. Install
the cable so that it cannot be crushed
between two objects, or damaged in any
other way. Should the power cable be
damaged, please let our customer servi-
ce replace it before using the appliance
again.
• Install the device in a position where the-
re is no danger of heat build up - deta-
ched and well ventilated. Never cover the
ventilation slits!
• Avoid additional heat through direct
sun, heating systems, other electrical
appliances etc.
• Never let children and frail people
handle the device without supervision,
as these people may not always judge
potential dangers appropriately.
• The CD unit has a "class 1" laser unit.
There is no immediate danger for your
eyes unless the housing is incomplete
or damaged - if this is the case, then the
appliance must not be used at any
time!
• Disconnect the power cable from the
power supply after using the appliance.
Switching the device off is not sufficient
as voltage remains in the device for as
long as it is connected to the mains
power supply.
• Make sure that no fluids or small objec-
ts penetrate the interior of the device.
• Only use the device in dry surroundings.
Please keep this manual in case of future queries –
and pass it on when transcribing the device to another person!

3. Connection
3.2 Connecting the power cable
Ꭿ Insert the power cable in the power
socket on the device, and then insert the
mains power plug in the mains socket.
Before you start using the device, please
check that the device is in good order and
condition, and make sure that all packa-
ging material has been removed.
3.3 Connecting the antenna
The device is equipped with an internal
antenna for medium wave (AM) reception.
൴ A telescopic antenna provides FM
reception.
3.1 Inserting batteries
Ꭾ Open the battery compartment at the
back of the device, as well as …
Ꭽ the cover of the battery compartment for
the radio channels memory.
The place the following in the battery
compartment ...
3.4 Connecting the headphones
Headphones should have an internal resi-
stance (impedance) of 32 ohm and be
equipped with a 3.5mm stereo jack.
• 3UM-3 AA batteries for the radio
channel memory and
• 8 UM-1 D batteries for operation of
the device.
Warning: Never connect the headphones to
the device when you are already wearing
them.You can severely damage your ears if
the volume is set at a high level.
• Please make sure that the batteries are
inserted in the correct position, i.e. the
"+" end of the battery is inserted to
match the "+" symbol on the device
(polarity).
൵ Always ensure that the volume control is
turned to quiet - then ...
• Then close the housing and the battery
compartment
൳ insert the connection plug into the
socket provided for the headphones.
A few useful tips regarding batteries:
• Only use high quality batteries.
• Always insert new and matching batte-
ries only, in order to avoid the batteries
self-discharging.
The internal loudspeakers are disabled as
soon as the headphone connection plug is
placed in the socket.
When the headphone plug is removed the
speakers will be reactivated - which can
lead to an unexpected volume level if the
volume was turned to high when using the
headphones.
• Renew the batteries as soon as the per-
formance in battery mode fades, howe-
ver, not later than one year after insertion.
Batteries sometimes begin to corrode
after this time.
൵ For this reason the volume level should
be lowered before the headphone plug is
removed from the socket.
• Batteries must not be disposed of in the
normal rubbish bin. Always return used
batteries to the retail outlet or other
collection points for disposal.
