CHOOSING A POWER SOURCE

You can power your CD player from:

•Internal battery power (using two AA alkaline or rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries, not sup- plied)

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

•Vehicle battery power (using an optional DC adapter, not supplied)

USING BATTERIES

You can power your CD player from two AA batteries. For the best results, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-552/

557.Or, you can use rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries, such as Cat. No. 23-125, and charge them in the CD player with the supplied battery adapter.

Notes:

•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.

•Never mix fresh and old, alka- line and nickel-cadmium batter- ies, or nickel-cadmium batteries of different capacities.

•To help you remove the batter- ies later, place them across the ribbon.

3.Replace the cover.

Notes:

•Replace the batteries when BATT appears on the display, the sound distorts, or the volume weakens.

•Always dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

• Never leave dead, old, or weak batteries in the CD player. They can leak chemicals and corrode or damage electronic circuits.
