SOME DO’S AND DON’TS ON THE

SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety

standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to

obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension

leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made

and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw

the mains plug when making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation

or safety of your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in doubt about it working

normally, or if it is damaged in any way – switch off, withdraw the mains plug and

consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifi-

cally stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode.

Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family

know how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or

handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are dis-

tracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television

whilst driving a vehicle.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or

soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the

equipment.

DON’T use the makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws – to

ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs

with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

- NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any

other opening in the case – this could result in a fatal electrical shock;

- NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind. It is

better to be safe than sorry!

WARNING

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to dripping, splashing,

rain or moisture.

DANGER

LASER SAFETY

This unit employs an optical laser beam system in the CD mechanism, de-

signed with built -in safeguards. Do not attempt to disassemble, refer to quali-

fied service personnel. Exposure to this invisible laser light beam may be

harmful to the human eye.

THIS IS A CLASS-1 LASER PRODUCT.

USE OF CONTROLS, OR ADJUSTMENTS

OR PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE

SPECIFIED HEREIN, MAY RESULT IN

HAZARDOUS LASER LIGHT BEAM

EXPOSURE.

SAFEGUARDS

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered and

manufactured to assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in potential electrical

shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards, observe the following instructions

for its installation, use and servicing.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Never open the covers or touch the inside or insert a metal object. Any of these

operations could cause an electric shock or a fault.

2. Do not expose to vibration or shock, dust, moisture,direct sunlight or excessive

heat such as inside the confined vechicles, etc. for a long period.

3. Use ONLY the AC adaptor provided, others may damage your unit. Disconnect

from the wall AC supply outlet when the set is not to be used for an extended

period of time.

4. When cleaning your unit, use a soft dry cloth to wipe off surface dirt. Do not use

solvents or commercially available cleaners as these may damage or discolour

the finish.

5. Do not wear earphones while operating a motor vehicle, this could create a traffic

hazard and is illegal in many areas.

6. The earphones supplied with your unit provide super stereo listening while allow-

ing you to hear outside sounds when listening at normally low volume levels.

Listening at extremely high volume levels minimizes the intrusion of outside sounds

and may impair your hearing.

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

We declare under our sole responsibility that this product, to which this declara-

tion relates, is in conformity with the following standards:

EN60065, EN55013, EN55020, EN61000-3-2 and EN61000-3-3.

Following the provisions of 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC and 93/68/EEC Directives.

This is shown on the bottom of the unit.

7. If you notice that the sound has become weak or distorted, this is an indication

that your batteries are low. Replace with new or recharged batteries (see "BAT-

TERY POWER SOURCE")

8. When the set is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries.

9. Discs which can be played on this player, have the following mark on

them. MP3, CD-R, CD-RW, CD-ROM, etc. cannot be played.

10. Do not move the set suddenly from a very cold room into a warm

room. When a chilled CD player is moved suddenly to a warm location, conden-

sation may form on the pick-up lens, preventing proper operation. In this case,

wait 1 to 2 hours before resume play.

11. Do not place any objects in the disc compartment, it may cause damage to the

mechanism.

12. Do not store discs in high temperature, high-humidity locations. The discs may

develop warps and become unable to play. Also, discs with moisture on them

may be unplayable. Wipe any moisture off with a soft, dry cloth, and be sure

discs are fully dried before using.

13. Handle the discs carefully so that fingerprints and dust do not adhere to the

surfaces of the discs. To clean off, use a soft cloth. Do not use a hard cloth since

these will mark or scratch the disc.

14. Please do not use compact discs with cellophone tapes or with labels attached,

or those CD with peeled off stains, such as rental CD. If such discs were used on

a CD player, they may get trapped inside the unit and cause malfunction.

15. If a CD player is being operated while you are receiving a radio broadcast, you

may hear noise in the broadcast. If so, turn the operative switch of the CD player

[off].

16. Do not leave exhausted batteries in the compartment as they will leak and cause

corrosion and damage.

17. CD with special shapes (heart-shaped, octagonal etc.) can-

not be played on this set. Attempting to do so may damage

the set. Do not use such CD:

18. Do not use CD-ROM and VCD disc. If these discs are played, noise will occur

from stereo earphones.

19. Be careful not to damage the AC adapter cord. Be sure to hold the adapter when

disconnecting from AC supply outlet.

20. Allow heat dissipation from the unit, otherwise malfunction may occur.

21. During playback if the unit is subjected to shock or jolt, some noise may be

produced. This is not a malfunction.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Cabinet

Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the cloth with a weak

solution of neutral detergent and water, and then wipe clean. Never use thinner,

benzene or alcohol, as these will damage the surface finish.

Cleaning the Lens

A dirty lens will cause sound skipping and, if the lens is very dirty, the CD may not

work. Open the CD lid and clean the lens as below.

• Dust or Dry Particles

Using a camera lens brush/blower, blow

on the lens couple times, then wipe it lightly

with the brush to remove dust. Then, blow

on the lens once more.

• Fingerprints

If the lens cannot be cleaned by using a

brush/blower, use a dry cotton swab

starting in the middle and working to the

outside edge.

USING ANTI-SHOCK FEATURE

Note the " " indicator appears on display as being empty when first activated.

As it immediately begins to store sound data in memory bank, it shows " " to

indicate the data buffer is full.

When the laser loses tracking due to mechanical shock, the data stream into the

memory is interrupted but the data output from the memory buffer continues, so

the sound is uninterrupted. As the data is read from the memory, the indicator

changes from "

" to " ".

Once the laser locks again on the CD track, the data stream is fed to the memory

and joined to the previous data (see indicator changes).

REMINDER ...

If the unit is subjected to excessive and continuous repeated shocks, the memory

buffer becomes overloaded beyond its capacity therefore causing the sound to

skip. Also note the "

" indicator will remain empty.

NOTES :

• When the "ANTI-SHOCK" is operating, the battery consumption is higher

because the disc rotates faster than normal and also the memory circuitry is

activated.

• When the digital anti-shock function is switched "ON" or "OFF", the sound is

interrupted for a short time. This is normal.

• Remember that condition such as dirty, scratched or warped discs may cause

skipping or noise thereby affecting performance of "ANTI-SHOCK" system.
