Using the AC adaptor

Use only the included AC adaptor. Using other adaptors can cause overheating which can lead to fire.

Connect the AC adaptor supplied.

Refer to step 3 in “Using rechargeable batteries” for connection instructions.

Conserving power

The AC adaptor consumes 2.1 W when the unit is turned off with [∫]. To save power when the unit is not to be used for a long time, unplug the AC adaptor from the household AC outlet. Reprogram tracks if necessary before use.

Using the car adaptor (not included)

Be sure to obtain the car adaptor (SH-CDC9), available as an optional accessory.

CAUTION:

Use only car adaptor, Model: SH-CDC9 manufac- tured by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.

The car adaptor can be used to recharge the unit’s bat- teries while in the car.

Battery indicator

The battery charge is shown in five levels on the dis- play.

Using dry cell batteries (not included)

The external battery case allows you to extend the max- imum playing time of the unit by loading an additional two “LR6, AA, UM-3”alkaline batteries.

1 Open the cover of the external bat- tery case and insert the batteries.

Note!

When the rechargeable batteries are fully re- charged, the battery indicator disappears. (It takes approximately 2 hours to fully recharge the sup- plied rechargeable batteries.)

4 When recharging is complete, un- plug the AC adaptor from the household AC outlet and the DC IN jack.

Note!

≥Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approxi- mately 300 charge-discharge cycles. The batteries have reached the end of their operational life if they last for a noticeably shorter time after recharging, or if they cannot be recharged at all.

≥Recharging may only be performed when the unit is powered off.

≥The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may be- come warm while recharging is in progress. This is not a malfunction.

≥Leaving the AC adaptor connected can cause the bat- teries to go flat. After recharging the batteries and dis- connecting the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet, ensure you disconnect the adaptor from the unit’s

2 [KDC IN 4.5 V ] terminal.

When the battery indicator flashes

Power is cut off a short while later. Recharge the rechargeable batteries or replace the dry cell batteries with new ones.

Note!

≥When the unit is used with a AC adaptor, the battery indicator is not displayed.

≥The battery indicator may temporarily show a lower level or otherwise not operate correctly when search- ing and skipping, and also if the unit is used in an ex- tremely cold environment.

≥The length of time the unit will continue to operate be- tween when the battery indicator starts flashing and when the power is cut off differs depending on the type of batteries used.

≥The battery indicator may not be displayed if recharge- able batteries other than those designated by Panasonic are used.

≥If rechargeable batteries and dry cell batteries are used together, make sure to use fully charged rechargeable batteries and new dry cell batteries.

≥Do not swing the unit around while the battery case is connected as this can cause damage to the connec- tion and may be a danger to those around you.

If the unit malfunctions or freezes during use, disconnect the power sources (the AC adaptor or batteries).

Re-connect the power source and contin- ue operation.

When using batteries

This unit includes a mechanism that extends the life of the batteries by varying the rotation rate of the motor. Motor noise may increase when the rate changes.

If the noise bothers you

Use the AC adaptor to power the unit. The rotation rate does not change while you are using the AC adaptor.
