3. Connection
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.
3.1 Inserting the batteries
Ꭽ Open the battery compartment on the
back of the device and insert 8 UM-2
"C" batteries.
• 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).
• Close the battery compartment after
batteries have been inserted.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
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.
3.3 Connecting the antenna
The device is equipped with an internal
antenna for medium wave (AM) reception.
Ꭾ A telescopic antenna provides FM recep-
tion.
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.
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.
൴ Always ensure that the volume control is
turned to quiet - then ...
൳ insert the connection plug into the
socket provided for the headphones.
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.
൴ For this reason the volume level should
be lowered before the headphone plug is
removed from the socket.
