Notes:
•You cannot use the MD player during charging the rechargeable battery.
•It takes approximately 1.5 hours to recharge the rechargeable batteries.
•Rechargeable battery has a service life of approximately 300 charge-discharge cycles. If the operating time on one full charge becomes noticeably shorter than it used to be, the battery has reached the end of its service life and should be replaced.
•The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may become warm while recharging is in progress. This is not a malfunction.
Using the AC adaptor
CAUTION: Be sure no battery is inserted into the unit.
1 Set the switch of the charger/adaptor to “ADAPTOR”.

Cautions
Batteries
• Before replacing batteries, always turn off the unit.
Rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery (BN-R127):
•Use only the rechargeable battery (BN-R127) supplied with the unit.
•If the power delivered by the battery lasts for a very short time after recharging, it means that the battery’s service life is over. Do not use it any more.
•Recharging already charged battery will shorten its service life.
•When recharging battery for the first time or when it has not been used for a long period of time, the play time may be shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and discharge the battery. This will restore it to its regular state.
•Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of rechargeable battery since this may cause short-circuiting which is dangerous.
•Recharging shall be made at the temperature from 10°C to 35°C.
Dry cell battery and rechargeable battery:
To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed the following points.
• Align the » and Æ polarities properly when inserting the batteries.
•Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long period of time.
•Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, disassemble or subject them to excessive heat.
•Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
Carrying batteries:
When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal objects such as a necklace are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short- circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.
Be absolutely sure to carry the rechargeable battery in the battery carrying case.
Notice about the rechargeable battery
The battery is designated recyclable.
Please follow your local recycling regulations.
AC adaptor and charger/adaptor
•Handle the AC adaptor and charger/adaptor carefully. Improper handling is dangerous.
•Do not touch them with wet hands.
•Do not place heavy objects on top of them.
•Do not forcibly bend them.
•Be sure to connect only the AC adaptor and charger/adaptor provided with the unit.
•Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power outlet if the unit is not going to be used for a long time.
