Replacing the Batteries
When the sound of the unit becomes weak or distorted, or the unit fails to operate
at all, remove the original batteries as soon as possible, dispose of them properly,
and install new batteries.
Never leave exhausted batteries in the unit as the may eventually leak and cause
damage to the unit. You warranty does not cover damage due to leaking batteries.
Note: In order to operate the unit on battery power the AC cord must be
disconnected from the AC socket on the back cabinet.
Stereo Headphone Jack
This unit includes a stereo PHONES jack on the front panel. You may connect a
set of stereo headphones, not included, to this jack for private listening without
disturbing others.
The built in speakers are automatically shut off when headphones are connected
to the PHONES jack. Make sure that the plug from your headphones is fully inserted
into the headphone jack. If the plug is not fully inserted the sound may be intermittent,
or you may only hear sound from one side of the headphones.
Important: To prevent hearing damage always set the volume control to a low
level before you connect the headphones. Then connect the headphones, put
them on, and very gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening
level. Remember that CDs may contain both very soft and very loud passages.
Adjust the volume to a comfortable level using a louder passage, so that you
always know what the maximum level will be.
