Ö Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix different types

of batteries.

Ö Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.

Ö Remove the batteries when the unit is not to be used for an

extended period of time.

When the batteries are nearly exhausted, the following symptoms may appear. In this case, replace the batteries with the fresh ones. (Do not use fresh ones and old ones together.)

For the main unit

Mistracking occurs during CD playback or sound is distorted intermittently during TAPE playback.

For the memory back-up

When the AC power cord is unplugged, the stored memory (timer/clock setting/preset tuning) is erased.

It is recommended that the AC power cord be used when recording important material or listening to a CD.

ÖFor better battery usage

Continuous operation of the unit causes the battery power to be consumed quicker than noncontinuous operation.

Operation of the unit in a cold place causes the battery power to be consumed more quickly than in a warm place.

ÖFor power supply

The use of household AC is recommended when continuous operation of the unit is required over a longer period of time.

If chemicals from the batteries come in contact with your skin, wash them off immediately with water. If chemicals leak onto the unit, clean the unit completely.
