Cautions:

•Use only batteries of the required size and type.

•Never mix fresh and old bat- teries, alkaline and nickel- cadmium batteries, or nickel- cadmium batteries of differ- ent capacities.

•If you do not plan to use the CD player for a month or more, or you plan to power it only from an optional AC or DC adapter, remove and store the batteries.

3.Close the battery compartment cover.

When the batteries become weak, flashes, then the CD player automatically turns off. Replace al- kaline batteries or recharge the nickel-cadmium battery pack when

this happens.

Charging a Nickel- Cadmium Battery Pack

The nickel-cadmium battery pack comes fully discharged. You can charge the special-order battery pack while it is in the battery com- partment using an AC adapter (such as Cat. No. 273-1664, not supplied) or DC adapter (such as Cat. No. 273-1801, not supplied). See “Using AC Power” on Page 10 and “Using Vehicle Battery Power” on Page 11.
