POWERING THE CD PLAYER
You can power your CD player from any
of these sources:
• two AA alkaline batteries (not sup-
plied)
• two rechargeable AA nickel-cad-
mium batteries (not supplied)
• standa rd AC power using an AC
adapter (not supplied)
• vehicle battery power using a DC
adapter (not supplied)
Note: Connecting an AC or DC adapter
to the CD player with non-rechargeable
batteries installed disconnects the
batteries.

USING BATTERIES

You can power your CD player from two
AA alkaline batteries or two AA re-
chargeable nickel-cadmium batteries.
Both types of batteries are available at
your local RadioShack store.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
Follow these steps to install the batter-
ies.
1. Press down and slide the batt ery
compartment cover in the direction
of the arrow and lift it off.
2. Place two AA batteries in the com-
partment as indicated by the polar-
ity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
When flashes or the CD player
stops operating properly, replace the
batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the
CD player for a month or more, remove
the batteries. Batteries can leak chemi-
cals that can destroy electronic parts.

Charging Rechargeable

Batteries

This CD player can fully charge the rec-
ommended rechargeable nickel-cadmi-
um batteries in about 17 hours. You can
play a CD while charging the nickel-
cadmium batteries; however, this will
cause the batteries to charge more
slowly.
