PLAYER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Cabinet
IMPORTANT: Disconnect from Main Supply Before 
cleaning.wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very 
dirty, dampen the cloth with a weak solution of neutral 
detergent and water, and then wipe clean.
Cleaning the Lens
A dirty lens may cause the sound to skip and, If the
 lens is very dirty, the CD may not work. Open the 
disc cover and clean the lens as follow:
Dry Dust Particles
Using a camera lens brush/blower, blow on the 
lens couple times, then wipe it lightly with
the brush to remove dust. Then, blow on the lens
once more. 
Finger prints
If the lens cannot be cleaned by using a brush/ 
blower use a dry cotton swab.
Cleaning the Disc

     manners.
Note: Do not touch the rainbow  colored side.
2. To wipe a disc, use only a soft cloth. Do not 
     use benzene or  thinner which will damage 
     the disc, the disc should always be wiped 
     in a straight line from the centre to the edge. 
     It should never be wiped in a circular motion.
3. Never place the disc on other equipment or 
     near any heat source. Avoid positions 
     where the disc would be subjected to
     direct sunlight for long periods. 
When AC  power  is  interrupted,  both  time 
and  alarm  settings  will  be  lost  (unless 
2 x AAA battery (not supplied) is installed) 
after power is restored. The digital display 
will  blink  to  show  power  was  interrupted.
You must reset time and alarm times.
To  keep  alarm  and  time  of  day  settings  in
memory  during  a  brief  power  failure  or 
accidental removal of AC cord from mains 
socket,  install  2  x  1,5V  “AAA”    battery

Compartment on the underside of the unit.
Corrosion,  oxidation,  battery-leakage 
and  any  other  gradually  acidic  defect  of 
this nature will invalidate the guarantee.
Electronic  products  should  never  be 
subjected  to  extreme  temperatures 
nor  high  humidity  to  ensure  good 
performance  and  a  long  life-time.The 
clock  radio  should  not  be  placed  in 
bathing  areas,  or  around  stoves  and 
radiators, etc. Always leave sufficient 
space  around  the  unit  for  ventilation.
If necessary, only clean the cabinet of 
the unit with a soft dampened piece of 
cloth,  (be  sure  the  AC  power  cord  is 
unplugged from the outlet). Never use

PREPARATION FOR USE
Unpacking and Set Up
Remove the unit  from the carton, and remove all the packing materials from the 
unit.
Save the carton and packing materials in case the unit ever needs to be returned
for service Using the original carton and packing materials is the only way to 
safely  repack  the unit for shipment.
Remove any descriptive labels or stickers from the top or front of the unit. Do
not remove any labels from the back or bottom of the cabinet.
Remove any small strips of tape that may have been used to prevent the CD
door from opening in transit.
Note the Serial Number on the bottom of your radio and write this number in
the space provided on the Warranty page of this manual.
Press the CD OPEN button to open the CD door and remove the dummy CD
protection card from the CD  compartment. Discard it and close the CD door.

Protect Your Furniture
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from moving
when you operate the controls. These ‘feet’ are made from non-migrating rubber 
material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. 
However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning 
sprays may cause the rubber 'feet’ to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on 
the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you
purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home 
improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 
‘feet’ before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.
Power Sources
This system is designed to operate on  120V  AC  60Hz house current only. Connecting 
this system to any other power source may cause damage to the system and such 
damage is not covered by your warranty.
NOTE: This system  has polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. 
This plug will only fit into a matching polarized AC outlet. 
This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If this plug will not fit 
in your AC outlet, you probably have an outdated non-polarized outlet. You should 
have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. 
Do not file the wide blade on the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your 
outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.
