POWERING THE CD PLAYER

You can power your CD player from any of these sources:

•Two AA alkaline batteries (not supplied)

•Two rechargeable AA nickel- cadmium batteries (not supplied)

•Vehicle battery power using the supplied DC adapter

•Standard AC power using an AC adapter (not supplied)

Note: Connecting an AC or DC adapt- er to the CD player with non-recharge- able batteries installed disconnects the batteries.

USING BATTERIES

You can power your CD player from two AA alkaline batteries (such as Ra- dioShack Cat. No. 23-552) or two re- chargeable AA nickel-cadmium bat- teries (such as Cat. No. 23-125).

Cautions:

•Always use fresh, or freshly charged, batteries of the required size and type.

•Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (stan- dard, alkaline, or rechargeable nickel-cadmium), or recharge- able batteries of different capaci- ties.

Follow these steps to install the batter- ies.

1.Press down on the battery com- partment cover and slide it in the direction of the arrow on the cover, then lift the cover.

Caution: The battery compart- ment cover is attached to the CD player. Do not try to remove it.

2.Put two AA alkaline batteries or two AA nickel-cadmium batteries in the battery compartment, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

Note: Before you use the CD player with nickel-cadmium batter- ies, you need to charge them, either in an external battery charger (such as Cat. No. 23-134) or in the CD player (see “Recharg- ing Nickel-Cadmium Batteries” on Page 7).

3.Close the battery compartment cover.

If flashes on the display, the sound distorts, or the volume weak- ens, replace or recharge the batteries.
