POWERING THE CD PLAYER

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

•two AA alkaline batteries (not sup- plied)

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

•vehicle battery power using the sup- plied DC adapter

•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.

USING BATTERIES

Your CD player can use two AA batter- ies (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recom- mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

You can also use rechargeable nickel- cadmium batteries to power your CD player.

Cautions:

•Use only fresh 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 different capacities.

Note: Before you use the CD player with nickel-cadmium batteries, you need to charge them, either in an external bat- tery charger (available at your local Ra- dioShack store) or in the CD player (see “Recharging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries” on Page 7).

Follow these steps to install the batter- ies.

1.Press down on the battery compart- ment cover and slide it in the direc- tion of the arrow on the cover, then lift the cover.

Caution: The battery compartment cover is attached to the CD player. Do not try to remove it.

2.Put two AA alkaline or nickel- cadmium batteries in the battery compartment, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked outside.

3.Close the battery compartment cover.

When flashes on the display, the sound distorts, or the volume weakens, replace or recharge the batteries.

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