HOLD Switch

The HOLD switch locks all of the other controls buttons. If you are carrying the CD

player in a backpack, handbag, gym bag, etc, set the HOLD switch to the ‘On’

position to prevent it from starting accidentally by something pressing against the

POWER ON – PLAY/PAUSE

button. Likewise, once you start CD playback

you can set the HOLD switch to the ‘On’ position to prevent you from accidentally

pressing the STOP – POWER OFF button or the SKIP/Search

/

buttons

while you are carrying or jogging with the player. Remember that to use any of the

other controls the HOLD switch must be set to the ’Off’ position.

Anti-Skip Protection (ASP)

This player includes a 45 second Anti Skip Protection circuit that prevents the CD

from skipping during most active uses. ASP is activated automatically when

playback begins. The Anti Skip indicator appears in the display and begins to fill

with a series of ‘bars’

.

When the Anti Skip indicator contains 5 bars

this indicates that the electronic

memory contains 45 seconds of music. If the player is bumped or shaken the

music will not skip, but one or more of the bars may disappear

, indicating that

the memory is being depleted. If all 5 bars disappear

the Anti Skip memory is

empty. If the player is continuously bumped or shaken while the Anti Skip memory

is empty the music may skip or the CD may stop completely.

Note: The Anti Skip memory circuit consumes additional battery power. So if

you are using the player in a stable location where it will not be subject to

bumps and shock, press the ASP/BAND button to shut the anti-skip memory

‘Off’. The ASP indicator disappears from the display.
