Inserting Batteries in the Handset
The battery compartment is on the rear of the handset. Unwrap the
batteries, open the compartment cover and insert the batteries. Follow
the polarity indications in the battery compartment.
Always replace batteries in pairs. Use new batteries of the same type
and rating, ideally from the same manufacturer. Used batteries should
be disposed of in compliance with the recycling regulations in your
area. Never throw batteries in the fire or in the general rubbish. Never
immerse batteries in water.
Handset Operation
Buttons shown in white control the 8000CDE. The buttons in the lower
section operate Audiolab amplifiers and have no effect on the player.
To operate, point the handset at the centre of the display. Ensure there
is a clear line of sight between the handset and the player. The
operating range of the handset is ideally within 8m of the player.
