INSTALLING BATTERIES

For the best performance and longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries,
such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-751.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1.  Press and slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the
    arrow and lift it up.

2.  Install the batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+and-)
    marked inside the battery compartment.

3.  Close the cover.

        the prerecorded singer's voice and the music.

        If you hear a squealing (feedback) sound, reduce the microphone's

USING THE EARPHONE

For private listening, plug the supplied earphone into the EAR jack.
This automatically disconnects the internal speaker.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

     Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.
     After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable 
     level.

     Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.  Extended high-volume
     listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

     Once you set the volume, do not increase it.  Over time, your ears
     adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause 
     discomfort might still damage your hearing.
