3. Reduced power, distortion, and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that  
the batteries may need replacing.  
We would recommend for economy that your CD9949 is used  
on the mains whenever possible with battery operation for  
occasional or stand-by use only.  
Mains operation

2. Plug the mains lead into the Socket located on the rear of your CD  
radio cassette. Ensure that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.  
3. Plug the other end into a wall socket and switch on.

4. Do not allow this unit to be exposed to moisture (e.g. dripping or  
splashing). Do not leave your radio where excessive heat could  
cause damage such as in a parked car where the heat from the sun  
can build up even though the outside temperature may not seem too  
high.  
Note: The unit remains connected to the mains even when it  
is switched off. The unit is only isolated from the mains if the  
mains plug is removed from the wall socket.
