Note!

When the unit is used with an AC adaptor, the battery indicator is not displayed.

The battery indicator may temporarily show a lower level or otherwise not operate correctly when search- ing and skipping, and also if the unit is used in an ex- tremely cold environment.

The length of time the unit will continue to operate be- tween when the battery indicator starts flashing and when the power is cut off differs depending on the type of batteries used.

The battery indicator may not be displayed correctly if rechargeable batteries other than those designated by Panasonic are used.

Using dry cell batteries (not included)

The external battery case allows you to extend the max- imum playing time of the unit by loading an additional two “LR6, AA, UM-3”alkaline batteries.

Using the AC adaptor

Use only the included AC adaptor. Using other adap- tors can cause overheating which can lead to fire.

Connect the AC adaptor supplied.

Refer to step 3 in “Using rechargeable batteries” for connection instructions.

Conserving power

The AC adaptor consumes 2.1 W when the unit is turned off with []. To save power when the unit is not to be used for a long time, unplug the AC adaptor from the household AC outlet.

Note!

Turn the unit off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

Using the car adaptor (not included)

Be sure to obtain the car adaptor (SH-CDC9), available as an optional accesary.

CAUTION:

Use only car adaptor, Model: SH-CDC9 manufac- tured by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.

Note!

If rechargeable batteries and dry cell batteries are used together, make sure to use fully charged rechargeable batteries and new dry cell batteries.

The dry cell batteries should be changed when the unit is off.

If the unit malfunctions or freezes during use, disconnect the power sources (the AC adaptor or batteries).
