AC adaptor

3When recharging is complete, unplug the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet and the DC IN jack.

Notes:

•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 batteries have reached the end of their service life and should be replaced.

•You can recharge the batteries only when the unit is turned off.

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

If the battery lid compartment comes loose

Slide the lid back into place horizontally.

Removing batteries

Using the AC adaptor (supplied)

Connect the AC adaptor.

Refer to “Using rechargeable batteries” for connection instructions.

Note:

Even if the unit is turned off, small power is consumed as long as the AC adaptor is connected to the AC power outlet.

Using dry-cell batteries (not supplied)

After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two “AA” (LR6) alka- line batteries.

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

Battery indicator

This indicator lights when the batteries are almost out of power. Power will be shut off a short while later.

Note:

Turning off the Anti-Shock Protection (see page 6) will save the battery power more or less. (Available for an Audio CD only)

If the unit malfunctions or freezes during use, disconnect the AC adaptor and batteries. Then, connect the AC adaptor and batteries, and oper- ate the unit again.
