ECO-PLUS NiMH/ POWER ADAPTER
� When the batteries get too warm, recharging will be interrupted for approximately 30 minutes. � For proper recharging on board, make sure contacts are clean. � Only use AY 3363 ECO-PLUS NiMH batteries. Handling instructions � Recharging charged/half-charged batteries will shorten their service life. We therefore recommend that you run out of the rechargeable ECO-PLUS NiMH batteries before recharging them. � To avoid short-circuiting, keep the batteries from any metallic object. � If the battery runs out soon after recharging, either its contacts are dirty or its service life has come to an end.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

SAFETY & MAINTENANCE
CD player, SOUND STATION and CD handling � Do not touch the lens A of the CD player. � Do not expose the unit, batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight). � You can clean the CD player with soft, slightly dampened, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agent as it may have a corrosive effect. � To clean the CD, wipe it in a straight line from the center toward the edge using soft, lint-free cloth. The cleaning agent may damage the disc! Never write on a CD or attach a sticker to it. � The lens may cloud over when the unit is moved suddenly from cold to warm surroundings. In that case, playing a CD is not possible. Leave the CD player in a warm environment until the moisture has evaporated. � Active mobile phones in the vicinity of the CD player may cause malfunctions. � Avoid dropping the unit as this may cause damage.

ABOUT MP3 / WMA
The music compression technology MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows Media Audio) significantly reduce the digital data of an audio CD while maintaining CD quality sound. � Getting MP3/WMA files: you can either download legal music files from the internet to your computer hard disc, or create such files by converting audio CD files in your computer through appropriate encoder software. (128kbps bit rate or higher is recommended for MP3 files and 96 kbps bit rate for WMA files.) � Creating a MP3/WMA CD: burn the music files from your computer hard disc on a CDR or CDRW using your CD burner. You can use the by-packed EXPANIUM CD-ROM (free MusicMatch Jukebox software) to create your own MP3 CD. For more information, please visit www. musicmatch.com.

Helpful Hints:
� Make sure that the file names of the MP3 files end with .mp3 and WMA files end with .wma � Total number of music files and albums: around 350 (with a typical file name length of 20 characters) � The length of file names affects the number of tracks for playback. With shorter file names, more files can be burned on a disc. Windows Media Audio® is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
