Cautions

Selection and care of rechargeable /dry cell batteries

Selection

As a safety precaution, the portable CD players made by Panasonic are constructed so it is impossible to recharge ordinary batteries.

Only batteries especially designed for this unit can be recharged.

Special nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries:

For United Kingdom:

HHR-4AHE/2B (set of 2)

For others:

HHR-4AHT/2B (set of 2)

For details, check with your dealer.

Align the poles + and - correctly when inserting the batteries.

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

Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the unit for a long time.

Do not throw into fire, short-circuit, disassemble, or subject to excessive heat.

Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.

Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery termi- nals as this may cause short-circuiting which is dan- gerous.

When carrying batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure no metal objects such as necklaces are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuit- ing which can cause a fire. For safety, carry the batter- ies in the battery carrying case.

Unit

No altering or remodeling

This can cause malfunctioning.

No dropping or strong impacts

This may damage the unit.

Locations to be avoided

Avoid using the unit in the following locations since they can cause malfunctioning.

1.Bathrooms and other moisture-prone places

2.Warehouses and other dusty places

3.Very hot places near heating appliances, etc.

Do not leave the unit exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time

This may deform or discolor the cabinet and may also cause malfunctioning.

Special rechargeable batteries

Ordinary dry cell batteries/rechargeable batteries

If rechargeable battery play time is short after recharg- ing, the batteries have reached the end of their service life. Replace them with the recommended replace- ments.

Play time may be shorter than usual after recharging batteries for the first time or after they have been un- used for a long time. Repeatedly recharge and dis- charge the batteries if this occurs to restore them to normal.

Care

To prevent battery damage, electrolyte leakage and short-circuiting, heed the following points.

Do not peel off the covering on batteries and do not use if the covering has been peeled off.

When driving a car

In the interest of traffic safety, do not operate the unit while driving.

AC adaptor

Handle the AC adaptor carefully. Improper handling is dangerous.

Do not touch it with wet hands.

Do not place heavy objects on top of it. Do not forcibly bend it.

Be sure to connect only the AC adaptor provided with the unit.

Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power outlet if the unit is not going to be used for a long time.

Precautions for Listening with the Headphones or Earphones

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.

If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce vol- ume or discontinue use.

Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

You should use extreme caution or temporarily discon- tinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Even if your headphones or earphones are the open- air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
