Memorex MP3848 - Manual (Page 8)

This unit is designed to operate on AC household current or DC (batteries).
AC
Use the AC polarized line cord included with the unit for operation on AC power.
Insert one end of the AC line cord into the AC power jack on the rear of the unit
and the other end (with the 2 blades) into a
conveniently located AC outlet having 120V, 60Hz.
When the AC cord is plugged in, the batteries will
be disconnected.
NOTE: The AC plug supplied with the unit is
polarized to help minimize the possibility of electric
shock. If the AC plug does not fit into a
nonpolarized AC outlet, do not file or cut the wide blade. It is the user’s
responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
To use this unit with battery power, remove the battery door on the bottom of the
unit by pressing in on the tabs and then lifting the battery door off. Insert eight
(8) ‘C’ size batteries following the
diagram in the compartment.
NOTES:
• The AC power cord must be
disconnected from the AC power jack
on the rear of the unit in order for the
unit to operate on battery power.
• For longer-lasting life for the batteries,
remove the batteries from the battery
compartment if the unit is not to be
used for a long period of time.
