Follow these steps to recharge a nickel-cadmium battery pack while it is in the battery compartment.

EXT DC 6V

1.Set the tip polarity on the adapter to positive (+), and set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V.

2.Insert the adapter’s 4.0 mm outer diameter/1.7 mm inner diameter barrel plug into the CD player’s EXT DC 6V jack.

3.Plug the adapter’s other end into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket or a standard AC outlet.

4.When the nickel-cadmium bat- tery pack fully charges, unplug the adapter, then disconnect the adapter from the CD player.

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.

Charging Tips

Always keep the charging termi- nals clean. Use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean the terminals.

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