Cautions

Rechargeable batteries

•Only the BN-R1211 battery can be recharged.

•If the power delivered by the batteries lasts for a very short time after recharging, it means that the batteries’ service life is over. Do not use them any more.

•Recharging already charged batteries will shorten their service life.

•When recharging batteries for the first time or when they have not been used for a long period of time, the play time may be shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and discharge the batteries. This will restore them to their regular state.

•Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of re- chargeable batteries since this may cause short-circuiting which is dangerous.

•Do not peel off the plastic covering on the rechargeable batter- ies. Short-circuiting may occur which is dangerous.

Dry cell batteries / rechargeable batteries

To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed the following points.

•Align the , and . polarities properly when inserting the bat- teries.

•Do not mix different types or makes of batteries or old and new batteries.

•Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long period of time.

•Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, dis- assemble or subject them to excessive heat.

•Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.

Carrying dry cell batteries / rechargeable batteries around

When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal objects such as a necklace are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short- circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.

Be absolutely sure to carry the rechargeable batteries in the bat- tery carrying case.

When purchasing rechargeable batteries

As a safety precaution, the portable CD players made by JVC have a construction designed to make it impossible to recharge ordinary batteries.

To use rechargeable batteries, be absolutely sure to purchase the rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries designed especially for this unit.

Special rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries:

BN-R1211 (set of 2)
