DEAR STUDEBAKER ® 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. Taking 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 back cover. 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.

POWER SOURCE
Built-in Lithium Battery This unit operates on a built-in Li-ion battery that can be recharged either by using DC 5V 1A USB charger (not included) or from an AC adaptor (not included) with a rated output of DC 5V, 1000mA. The internal battery may not be fully charged out of the box, even if the RED charging LED turns off. We recommend that you charge the SB3706 for at least 5 hours before first use.
Note: The Type-C USB and DC IN jack are located on the righthand side of the unit. They are designed for charging the internal Li-ion battery. The unit will still operate while charging, but doing this may reduce the battery life and increase the charging time.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR When using battery power to operate this unit and the battery power becomes weak, the “BATTERY LOW” will show on display for few seconds and repeat. You are recommended to charge the rechargeable battery.
Note: 1. After prolonged use, the battery voltage will discharge, and operation might become intermittent. When this happens, please recharge the internal battery. 2. Charging time will vary if you are listening to music while charging the unit battery. We recommend you turn off the unit power during the charging process or until the unit battery is fully charged. 3. To prolong the life of a rechargeable battery, it is recommended to completely discharge it before fully charging it again. 4. Rechargeable batteries need to be cycled for maximum performance and longer battery life. If you don’t use the player that often, be sure to recharge the battery at least once a month in order to keep the internal battery working properly.
BATTERY NOTE AND CARE
Do not burn or bury batteries. Do not puncture or crush. Do not disassemble. Recycle Li-ion batteries. Do not dispose of in the trash. Use only chargers rated for Li-ion cells. Be sure the charger’s voltage and current

NOTE 1. You can use an USB AC adaptor with an output current of 500 mA or computer USB port as well, but it may take a very long time (10 hours or more) before the SB3706 has a full charge. When using such a USB AC adaptor, it’s recommended that you turn off the SB3706 power before charging the battery. 2. Use of a USB AC adaptor with an output current of less than 500 mA is not guaranteed to charge the unit’s battery.
CHARGING THE BATTERY USING THE AC Adaptor (Not included) Use an AC adaptor with output DC 5V 1000mA. 1. Plug the AC adaptor (not included) into normal AC power outlet socket. 2. Insert the DC plug of the AC adaptor cord into the DC IN JACK. 3. The BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR (#3) will light solid Red showing that the internal
battery is being charged. 4. After the battery is fully charged, the BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR (#3) will turn
off. 5. Unplug the AC adaptor once the battery is fully charged. WARNING: Before connecting to the power supply, ensure that the supply corresponds to
the information on the rating label at the back of the apparatus. AC/DC Adaptor
EARPHONES CONNECTION (PLUG-IN TYPE)
