CHOOSING A POWER SOURCE

You can power your CD player from:

•Four AA alkaline batteries or two rechargeable nickel-cadmium bat- tery packs (none supplied)

•Standard AC power, using an AC adapter (not supplied)

•A vehicle’s battery power, using a DC adapter (not supplied)

USING BATTERIES

You can power your CD player from four AA alkaline batteries (such as Ra- dioShack Cat. No. 23-552) or two re- chargeable nickel-cadmium battery packs (Cat. No. RSU 11377181, avail- able through your local RadioShack store). The CD player can recharge the nickel-cadmium battery packs while they are in the CD player.

Installing Batteries

1.Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow, then lift it open.

2.Place four AA batteries or two rechargeable nickel-cadmium bat- tery packs in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked on the bottom of the CD player.

Cautions:

•Use only batteries of the required size and type.

•Never mix fresh and old batter- ies, alkaline and nickel- cadmium battery packs, or nickel-cadmium batteries of dif- ferent capacities.

•If you do not plan to use the CD player for a month or more, remove and store the batteries.

3.Close the battery compartment cover.

Replace or recharge the batteries

when flashes on the display, the sound distorts, or the volume weak- ens.

Cautions:

•Always dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

•Never heat, disassemble, or throw batteries into a fire.

•Never leave dead, old, or weak batteries in the CD player. Batter- ies can leak chemicals that cor- rode or damage electronic circuits.
