CHARGING AND USE OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES Rechargeable Battery Operation This unit can fully recharge the specified rechargeable battery in approximately 15 hours. The rechargeable batteries (NOT supplied) should be recharged before they are used for the first time, if they are low in power or they have not been used for a long period (over 60 days). 1. Open the battery compartment cover and insert two of the recommended rechargeable batteries, matching polarity. (1.2V 650mA) BOTH BATTERIES MUST BE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. 2. Plug in the AC adaptor (not included). Set the Fuction Switch to CD mode and the Charge Switch to the ON position to start charging. USE ONLY THE AC ADAPTOR (NOT INLCUDED) RECOMMENDED WITH THE UNIT FOR CHARGING. Note: Charge indicator will illuminate. +- 3. After 15 hours, unplug the AC adaptor (not included) and switch the Charge Switch to the OFF position. DO NOT CHARGE CONTINUOUSLY FOR 24 HOURS OR MORE. DOING SO CAN CAUSE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY TO DETERIORATE. 4. If the operating time decreases drastically even when the rechargeable nickelcadmium batteries are properly recharged, purchase a new set of rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. Dispose of nickel cadmium according to local environmental laws. 5. When charging new batteries or if the batteries have not been charged for a long time, playing time may be reduced. In this case, charge and discharge the batteries several times. NOTE: - Do not attempt to recharge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or expose to fire. - Do not mix battery types. (e.g. alkaline with zinc carbonate). - When inserting new batteries, replace all at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries. - Weak batteries can leak and severely damage the unit. 4 CAR KIT DC CAR ADAPTER/CORD The supplied DC car adapter/cord is designed for use with vehicles equipped with a 12 volt negative ground electrical system only. The equipment is compatible if the negative (-) terminal of the battery is connected to the vehicle's metal body/chassis. If unsure, contact the vehicles's dealer. Plug the small end of the car adapter into the DC 6V jack and then plug the other end into the cigarette lighter socket. The indicator light will illuminate red when powered on. PRECAUTIONS TO DC 6V JACK ! USE ONLY THE SUPPLIED DC CAR ADAPTER/CORD. OTHER ADAPTERS COULD DAMAGE THE PLAYER. ! IF THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE'S CIGARETTE LIGHTER SOCKET IS DIRTY, THE PLUG MAY BECOME HOT AS A RESULT OF POOR ELECTRICAL CONTACT. BE SURE IT IS CLEAN BEFORE USE. ! AFTER USE, DISCONNECT THE CORD'S PLUGS FROM THE PLAYER AND THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER. ! SHOULD THE PLAYER CAUSE INTERFERENCE TO NEARBY RADIO, INCREASE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN PLAYER AND RECEIVER. FUSE REPLACEMENT Should the player fail to operate with the DC car adapter/cord, check the fuse (1-Amp). If blown, check all connections and inspect the cord for any damage. Always replace the fuse with same type and rating. If the fuse blows again after replacement, this indicates a potential problem. DO NOT replace the fuse with a higher rating. Doing so may cause damage to the player. Indicator fuse 5
