This document describes the onn. CD Boombox (Model: 100008719), a portable audio device designed for playing CDs and receiving FM radio broadcasts.
The onn. CD Boombox serves as a versatile audio player, offering both disc playback and radio reception. Its primary function is to provide portable entertainment, allowing users to listen to their favorite music from compact discs or tune into FM radio stations. The device is equipped with a CD player that supports standard audio CDs, though it is explicitly noted that it is not compatible with MP3 CDs. For radio enthusiasts, it features an FM tuner with the ability to scan and save preferred stations as presets. The boombox is designed for ease of use, featuring a clear display and intuitive controls for navigating between modes, adjusting volume, and managing playback. It can be powered either by an AC power cord for home use or by batteries for portability, making it suitable for various environments.
The CD Boombox offers a range of user-friendly features for both CD playback and FM radio.
CD Playback: To play a CD, users simply open the CD door, place a disc label-side up, close the door, and power on the speaker. The device supports basic playback controls such as play/pause, stop, and skipping tracks forward or backward. For more precise navigation, users can press and hold the skip track buttons to search through a track. The boombox also includes advanced playback modes like Repeat, Random, and Single Play, which can be selected using a dedicated button. A notable feature is the ability to program a sequence of up to 20 tracks from a CD. This programming function allows users to create custom playlists, which can then be played back in the desired order. The display indicates when programming is active and shows the selected track numbers.
FM Radio: For radio listening, the boombox allows users to switch to Radio mode. To improve reception, the FM wire antenna can be adjusted. Users can scan for FM frequencies by pressing and holding a specific button, and fine-tune the frequency using other dedicated buttons. A convenient feature is the ability to save up to 10 FM stations as presets (P01 to P10). This allows for quick access to favorite stations without the need to manually tune each time. Once presets are saved, users can cycle through them using the skip track buttons. The device also provides clear instructions on how to change an existing preset to a different radio station.
General Usage: The boombox is designed for both stationary and portable use. It can be plugged into a standard AC power outlet using the provided power cord. For on-the-go listening, it requires six C batteries (not included), offering flexibility in placement and use without being tethered to a power source. The device includes a headphone jack (3.5mm audio output), allowing for private listening. A carry handle is integrated into the design, enhancing its portability. The display provides visual feedback on the current mode, track number, radio frequency, and playback status, making it easy to operate.
Maintaining the onn. CD Boombox primarily involves proper handling and basic care to ensure its longevity and optimal performance.
Cleaning: The manufacturer recommends cleaning the unit only with a dry cloth. This prevents moisture from entering the device, which could cause damage. Users should avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials that might scratch or damage the surface.
Power and Battery Management: When using batteries, it's crucial to ensure they are inserted correctly and to replace all old batteries with new ones simultaneously. The manual emphasizes keeping new and used batteries away from children and disposing of them according to state and local guidelines. If the battery compartment does not close securely, the product should not be used, and batteries should be kept away from children, as there is a chemical burn hazard if batteries are ingested. The device should not be exposed to excessive heat sources like sunshine or fire, which can damage batteries. For AC power, users should protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, especially at plugs and receptacles, to prevent damage. The mains plug is designed as a disconnect device and should remain readily operable.
Environmental Considerations: The boombox should not be exposed to rain, moisture, dripping, or splashing to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock. It should also not be placed near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other heat-producing apparatus. Proper ventilation is important, so users should not block any ventilation openings. When placing the unit on furniture surfaces, especially those with soft, porous, or sensitive finishes, it is recommended to use a protective barrier (such as a cloth or a piece of glass) between the unit and the surface. This prevents potential marks or staining that can occur from the rubber compounds in the feet.
Safety and Servicing: Users are advised to follow all safety instructions, including reading and keeping the manual, heeding all warnings, and following all instructions. In case of damage, such as a damaged power-supply cord or plug, liquid spills, objects falling into the apparatus, exposure to rain or moisture, or if the unit does not operate normally or has been dropped, all servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. The manual also includes important FCC warnings regarding interference and modifications to the unit, emphasizing that unauthorized changes could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. It also cautions against using controls or adjustments other than those specified, as this may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
