2AB4KMETYH8150AM/FM RADIO CASSETTE PLAYER/RECORDER WITH BLUETOOTH

AM/FM RADIO CASSETTE PLAYER/RECORDER WITH BLUETOOTH MODEL: MCR-60 USER MANUAL PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING THIS UNIT AND RETAIN THIS BOOKLET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE E-1 COMPLIANCE WITH FCC REGULATIONS FCC ID: 2AB4KMETYH8150 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Digital Device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. WARNING Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Dear JENSEN Customer Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level: ▪ Start your volume control at a low setting. ▪ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. ▪ Once you have established a comfortable sound level: Set the dial and leave it there. E-2 Take a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime. We Want You Listening for a Lifetime Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. Customer's Record: The serial number of this product is found on its bottom. You should note the serial number of this unit in the space provided as a permanent record of your purchase to aid in identification in the event of theft of loss.

A. BATTERY OPERATION (BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED) 1. Open the battery door located on the back of the unit. 2. Follow the polarity diagram (+ and -) shown on the back of the cabinet, and insert 2 'AA' (UM-3) batteries, and close the battery door. IMPORTANT: Be sure that the batteries are installed correctly. Wrong polarity could damage the unit and void the warranty. Notes: 1.) For best performance and longer operating time, we recommend the use of good quality alkaline battery. 2.) The batteries need to be replaced when if the volume level becomes significantly lower, if the sound is distorted during operation or the unit no longer functions properly. BATTERY WARNING • Be sure the batteries are installed correctly. Wrong polarity may damage the unit. • Use only the size and type of batteries specified. • Do not mix old and new batteries. • Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries. • If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. Old or leaking batteries can cause damage to the unit and may void the warranty. • Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer’s directions). • Do not dispose of batteries in fire, batteries may leak or explode. 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 E-4 B. USB POWER This unit can also be powered using the DC IN jack (#12) and a USB power source (not included) like a cell phone charger, computer USB port or USB power bank. A USB to DC plug cable is also required (included). - Use a USB power source with a minimum output of DC 5V 500mA. - Plug one end (DC plug) of the provided cable into the DC IN JACK (#12) and the other end of the cable to the USB charger/power bank/computer (no…
