General maintenance
Do not expose the set, batteries, CDs or cassettes to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight.
To clean the set, use a soft, slightly dampened chamois
leather. Do not use any cleaning agents containing
alcohol, ammonia, benzene or abrasives as these may
harm the housing.
Environmental information
All unnecessary packaging material has been omitted. We
have done our utmost to make the packaging easy to sepa-
rate into three mono-materials: cardboard (box), expanda-
ble polystyrene (buffer), polyethylene (bags, protective
foam).
Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if dis-
assembled by a specialized company. Please observe the
local regulations regarding the disposal of packing
materials, dead batteries and old equipment.
POWER SUPPLY
Batteries for the remote control
Open the battery compartment and insert two batteries,
type AA, R06 or UM3 (preferably alkaline) with the
correct polarity as indicated by the + and – symbols
inside the compartment.
Important! Remove the batteries if they are dead or if the
unit is not to be used for a long time.
Batteries contain chemical substances, so they
should be disposed of properly.
Speaker connections
The speaker terminals are click-fit connectors. Use them as
shown below.
Connect the unmarked wire to the red terminal and the
marked black wire to the black terminal.
When headphones are inserted into the headphone jack
the speakers are disconnected.
Power supply
1 Check if the mains voltage, as shown on the type plate
located on the back of the set, corresponds to your
local mains voltage. If it does not, consult your dealer or
service center.
2 If your set is equipped with a voltage selector, adjust
the selector so that it matches with the local mains.
3 Connect the power cord to the wall outlet and the set is
now ready for use.
The display lights up briefly and the clock display
flashes. You will need to set the time.
4 To disconnect the set from the mains completely,
remove the plug from the wall outlet.
POWER-SAVING AUTOMATIC STANDBY
As a power-saving feature, the unit automatically switches
to standby 15 minutes after a tape or CD has reached the
end and no control is operated.
Safety information
Place the set on a hard and flat surface so that the
system does not tilt. Make sure there is adequate
ventilation to prevent the system from overheating.
The mechanical parts of the set contain self-lubricating
bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.
