Power Supply Preparations

Refer to the specifications (page 8) 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)

Back panel of the unit

Note!

≥Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approxi- mately 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.

≥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.

≥The rechargeable batteries should be changed when the unit is off.

Using the external battery case

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

1 Open the cover of the battery case and insert the batteries.

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

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

≥Turn the unit off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

Using the rechargeable batteries

Make sure to recharge the batteries before using them. The unit cannot be used to charge rechargeable batter- ies other than those specifically designed for it.

For United Kingdom: (HHR-4AHE/2B)

For others: (HHR-4AHT/2B)

Recharging procedure

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

indicated by the arrow.

Then lift it out.

Using dry-cell batteries (not included)

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

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

Note!

The dry cell batteries should be changed when the unit is off.

2 Mount the battery case on the unit body.

Insert the protrusions on the battery case into the three indentations in the unit body.

3 Secure in place with the screw.

Reverse the above procedure to remove the ex- ternal battery case.

For your reference:

≥The unit can be powered by the batteries in the exter- nal battery case alone. Batteries do not need to be loaded in the unit.

The maximum playing time will differ depending on the

2 Connect the AC adaptor.

Refer to “Using the AC adaptor” for connection in- structions.

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

When the rechargeable batteries are fully re- charged the charging indicator disappears.

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

Battery indicator

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

Note!

≥How long the unit continues to operate after the bat- tery indicator starts flashing depends on the type of batteries and on whether you are using the unit to play CDs or the radio.

≥The battery indicator may not flash if rechargeable batteries, 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 optional accessory.

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

loose:2

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

Note!1

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

≥When using rechargeable batteries in the unit body, and dry-cell batteries in the battery case, be sure to use fully charged rechargeable batteries and new dry- cell batteries.

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

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

Re-connect the power source or continue operation.

HOLD Function

HOLD

This function causes the unit to ignore short, accidental button presses. (The disc lid can still be opened and closed.)

HOLD function prevents the following:

≥Powering on the unit accidentally (which can cause the batteries to go dead).

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

To use HOLD function

Set [HOLD] to the HOLD position.

The unit and wired remote control have [HOLD] switch- es, each of which works independently.

(The hold indicator turns green when the remote control is in hold position.)

“(” Indication

When the unit is in HOLD status, pressing any opera- tion button causes the indication “(” to appear on the display.

When the unit is powered off:

The “(” indication appears only when [1;] or [RADIO/BAND] is pressed.
