You can power the CD player from a standard AC outlet using an AC adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1664.

Cautions:

•You must use an AC adapter that supplies 6 volts, and delivers at least 400 milliamps (CD-3620) or 500 milliamps (CD-3640). Its cen- ter tip must be set to positive, and its barrel plug must correctly fit the CD player’s DC IN 6V jack. The recommended adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the CD player or the adapter.

•When you finish using the AC adapter, disconnect it from the AC outlet first, then unplug it from the CD player.

•Battery power disconnects when you connect an AC adapter to the CD player unless you are using special rechargeable nickel- cadmium batteries (see “Using Batteries” on Page 5). If you plan to use the CD player with AC power for an extended period of time (8 hours or more), remove the special nickel-cadmium batter- ies to prevent overcharging.

Follow these steps to use an AC adapter.

1.Attach the 4.0 mm outer diameter/ 1.7 mm inner diameter barrel plug to the adapter cord, matching + on the plug with TIP on the cord.

2.Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V.

3.Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the CD player’s DC IN 6V jack.

4.Plug the other end of the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
