Power Supply Preparations

Refer to the specifications (page 6) for information on operating times when using rechargeable batteries or dry-cell batteries.

Using the AC adaptor

Connect the AC adaptor supplied.

DC IN jack (KDC IN 4.5 V)

AC adaptor

Note!

≥The configuration of the AC adaptor differs according to the area.

≥The unit is in the standby condition when the AC adaptor is con- nected. The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the AC adaptor is connected to an electrical outlet.

Note!

≥Rechargeable batteries have 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 bat- tery has reached the end of its service life and should be re- placed.

≥Recharging may only be performed when the unit is powered off. (It is not possible to recharge the batteries while playing a CD.)

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

Using the external battery case

The external battery case allows you to extend the maximum playing time of the unit by loading an additional two LR6 (UM-3)(not included) alkaline batteries.

Recharging procedure

1 Insert the special rechargeable bat- teries into the unit.

Using dry-cell batteries (not included)

After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two LR03 (UM-4)alka- line batteries.

The procedure for inserting and removing dry-cell batteries is identical to that for rechargeable bat- teries.

When the battery indicator flashes

3 Secure in place with the screw.

Reverse the above procedure to remove the external bat- tery case.

For your reference:

≥The unit can be powered by the batteries in the external battery case alone. No batteries need to be loaded in the player.

Connect the AC adaptor.

Refer to “Using the AC adaptor” for connection instruc- tions.

Recharging starts and the “H” charging indicator flashes on and off on the unit’s display.

When the rechargeable batteries are fully recharged, the charging indicator disappears.

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

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

Note!

≥The length of time the unit will continue to operate between 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 rechargeable bat- teries other than those designated by Panasonic are used.

Using the car adaptor (not included)

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

The car adaptor can be used to recharge the unit’s batteries while in the car.

Insert the protrusions into the holes on either end of the case.

Note!1

≥Though you can use rechargeable batteries in the external bat- tery case, it does not recharge them. (Use dry-cell batteries if possible.)

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

≥When using four dry-cell batteries, do not mix new and old bat- teries.

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

Re-connect the power source and continue operation.

The HOLD function prevents the following:

≥Powering on the unit accidentally (which can cause the batteries to run down).

≥Play being cut off unexpectedly in the middle of a se- lection.

To use the HOLD function

Set [HOLD] to the HOLD position.

The unit and wired remote control have HOLD func- tions, each of which works independently.
