If necessary, adjust the selector to correspond the AC power voltage used in your area. AC plug adaptor: In areas (or countries) where a wall socket as shown in illustration 2 is used, connect the unit using the AC plug adaptor supplied with the unit, as illustrated. The AC plug adaptor is not included in areas where the wall socket and AC power plug can be directly connected (see illustration 1). Notes: If the unit will not be used for a long period of time, remove the AC power lead from the wall socket. Connection of the AC power lead to the unit disconnects the batteries. Use only the supplied AC power lead. Using other power leads may cause an electric shock or fire. 3 Disconnect the AC power lead, and remove the battery compartment cover. Insert 8 "D", size batteries (UM/SUM-1, R20, HP-2 or similar) into the battery compartment. Insert the batteries according to the direction indicated on the rear panel. When inserting or removing the batteries, push them towards the battery terminals. Installing the batteries incorrectly may cause the unit to malfunction. Replace the battery compartment cover. Battery replacement: Replace the batteries when they become weak and/or recording or playback is impaired. This may occur even though radio broadcasts are audible. Notes: Replace all old batteries with new ones at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries. Remove the batteries if they are weak or if the unit will not be used for long periods of time. This will prevent potential damage due to battery leakage. Batteries are not included. Caution: Do not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cadmium battery, etc.). Preparation for Use 6 QT-MP3W Sound Control VOLUME Listening to a CD or MP3/WMA disc This system can play back a standard CD, CD-R/RW in the CD format and CD-R/RW with MP3 or WMA files, but cannot record on them. Some audio CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable due to the state of the disc or the device that was used for recording. ·M IN MA ...
