ˆPowering the CD Player

You can power your CD player from any of these sources:

•two AA alkaline batteries (not supplied)

•two rechargeable AA nickel- cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries (not supplied)

•vehicle battery power using a DC adapter (not supplied)

•standard AC power using an AC adapter (not supplied)

Note: The CD player senses whether or not the batteries you install are re- chargeable and turns on the charging circuit or disconnects the batteries ac- cordingly, provided the correct batter- ies are installed.

USING BATTERIES

Your CD player can use two AA bat- teries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

You can also use rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries to power your CD player.

Cautions:

•Use only fresh (or freshly charged) batteries of the required size and recommended type.

•Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (stan- dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of dif- ferent capacities.

Note: Before you use the CD player with Ni-Cd batteries, you need to charge them, either in an external battery charger (available at your lo- cal RadioShack store) or in the CD player (see “Recharging Nickel-Cad- mium Batteries” on Page 6).

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1.Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it.

2.Place the batteries in the com- partment and on top of the attached ribbon, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3.Replace the cover.

When flashes, the sound be- comes weak or distorted, or the CD player stops operating properly, re- place the batteries.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the CD player with batteries for a month
