Notes:

•It takes about 10 hours for the CD-3580 to charge a fully dis- charged nickel-cadmium battery pack.

•You can play a CD while recharging the battery pack; however, this could cause the battery pack to recharge more slowly.

•Under normal usage condi- tions, the nickel-cadmium bat- tery pack can be recharged about 500 times.
