Connecting the included Car DC Adaptor
Before connection, consult your car owner’s manual or your dealer.≥Connect to the cigarette lighter socket of a vehicle that has a 12 V battery. It is not compatible with a 
vehicle that has a 24 V battery.
≥This is a special negative grounded Car DC Adaptor. Using this Car DC Adaptor with a plus
grounded car can cause malfunction and lead to fire.
Replacing the fuseReplace only with the specified 125 V/250 V, 2.5 A fuse. Use of any other type can cause fire.
Cautions≥To avoid draining your car battery
–Disconnect the Car DC Adaptor from the cigarette lighter after use. The Car DC Adaptor continues 
to consume some power even if it is not being used, and if a battery pack is attached to this unit, it 
will start recharging which uses more power.
–Do not use the Car DC Adaptor for long periods when the engine is not running.
≥Turn the unit off before stopping the engine while using Car DC Adaptor, otherwise resume play 
(➜page 11) may not work.
≥Leave some slack in the cord.≥No responsibility will be taken for damage that occurs due to faulty installation.
You can enjoy audio through your car audio system by connecting a car 
stereo cassette adaptor (not included) to the headphone jack on the left side 
of this unit.
