Englis
hCaution: Long term exposure to loud music may cause 
hearing damage. It is best to avoid extreme volume when 
using headphones with this CD/MP3 player, especially for 
extended periods.
Caution: Do not use this product with headphones when 
operating a motor vehicle on a public road, or where the 
inability to hear outside sounds may present a danger. 
Caution: If you hear no sound when playing a disc, DO 
NOT turn the volume up high because music could suddenly 
start at high volume. Turn the volume control to the lowest 
level before starting playback and slowly increase volume to 
the desired level.
Note: If the CD/MP3 player is brought from a cold to a 
warm location, moisture may condense inside, causing it to 
stop working. Should this occur, remove the disc and leave 
the player in a warm location for several hours to allow the 
moisture to evaporate. 
Note: Use the player with 2 AA batteries (LR06 alkaline). 
The CD/MP3 player is not supplied with an AC adapter. Use 
only a safety agency approved 4.5-6VDC with a minimum of 
350mA AC adapter. Plus pole (+) to the center pin of the 
3.5mm socket. When the unit is not used, be sure to 
disconnect the AC power adapter.

5 Thank you for purchasing your TriPort CD music system. 
It delivers exceptional audio performance from audio 
CDs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and MP3-CDs.
Components of Your TriPort CD Music 
System
Unlocking the Hold Switch
The Hold switch, located on the right side of the player, 
may be ON when shipped from the factory. This prevents 
the controls from operating.
Move the Hold switch to OFF to disable Hold and unlock 
all controls. Turn Hold ON to prevent accidental 
operation of the controls.
Connecting and Wearing TriPort 
Headphones
To make the headphone connection, firmly insert the 
headphone plug into the jack on the right side of the 
player. 
Put on the headphones using the markings which 
identify the left (L) and right (R) earcups. Adjust the 
headband so it rests gently on top of your head and the 
earcup cushions fit comfortably around your ears.

hInstalling the Batteries
Slide the compartment door open. The diagram inside 
the compartment shows the positioning of the positive 
and negative battery terminals.
The Bose
® CD/MP3 player uses two AA (LR06 alkaline) 
batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries. 
Battery life is 8-10 hours for audio CDs and 11-12 hours 
for MP3-CDs. 
Note: You can use rechargeable batteries (NiMH, composed 
of nickel metal hydride, are recommended). They average half 
the life of alkaline batteries. However, the low battery symbol 
is not set for such batteries and will not be a reliable indicator 
of their remaining battery life. Do not mix alkaline and 
rechargeable batteries.
