Conserving power

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.

Note!

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

Using rechargeable batteries (not included)

Obtain the optional rechargeable batteries. Recharge the batteries before use.

The unit cannot be used to charge rechargeable batter- ies other than those specially designed for it.

Optional batteries : P-3GAVA/2B

Recharging procedure

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

(Refer to “Using the dry cell batteries”.The proce- dure for inserting and removing rechargeable bat- teries is identical to that for dry cell batteries.)

2 Connect the AC adaptor.

(Refer to “Using the AC adaptor” for connection instructions.) Recharging starts and the “H” charging indicator ﬂashes on the unit’s display. The indicator goes out when charging is complete.

3 When recharging is complete, un- plug the AC adaptor from the house- hold AC outlet and the DC IN jack.

≥Never mix dry cell and rechargeable batteries. ≥Turn the unit off before replacing the recharge-

able batteries.

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. Replace the batteries.

≥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, discon- necting the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet, en- sure you disconnect the adaptor from the unit’s [DC IN 4.5 V K] terminal.

Battery indicator

RANDOM

SORRY

This indicator ﬂashes when the batteries are almost out of power. Power is cut off completely a short while later. Rechargeable batteries: Recharge batteries.

Dry cell batteries: Replace batteries with new ones.

Note!

≥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 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.

CAUTION:

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

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

Re-connect the power source and continue op- eration.

HOLD Function

HOLD

HOLD mode

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

The HOLD function prevents the following:

≥The unit is powered on accidentally when not in use, causing the batteries to run down.

≥A button is accidentally pressed during play, interrupting the operation.

To use the HOLD function

Set [HOLD] to the HOLD position.

The unit and wired remote control have HOLD functions, each of which works in- dependently.

“(” indication

When the main unit is in HOLD mode, pressing any button causes the indica- tion “(” to appear on the display.

When the unit is powered off

The “(” indication appears only when [1;] (main unit) is pressed.

Before operating the buttons

Be sure to move [HOLD] to release the unit from the HOLD mode.
