GENERAL INFORMATION

IMPORTANT: PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THIS SYSTEM IS PRESET AT 220V FROM THE FACTORY. FOR COUNTRIES THAT OPERATE AT 110V, PLEASE ADJUST TO 110V BEFORE YOU SWITCH ON THE SYSTEM.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Remote control Batteries (two AA size) for remote control AM loop antenna FM wire antenna AC power cord

Safety Information

Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or the voltage indication beside the voltage selector) of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If not, please consult your dealer. The typeplate is located at the rear of your system. When the system is switched on, do not move it around. Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a cabinet). Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system. Allow at least 10cm clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5cm from each side.

General Information

The type plate (which contains the serial number) is located at the rear of the system. Recording is permissible if copyright or other rights of third parties are not infringed.
Environmental Information
All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We have tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet). Your system consists of materials which can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Accessories (Supplied)

Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources. Under no circumstances should you repair the system yourself, as this will invalidate the warranty! If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens of the CD unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD player will not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible. Electrostatic discharge may cause unexpected problems. See whether these problems disappear if you unplug the AC power cord and plug it in again after a few seconds. To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.
