CHOOSING A POWER SOURCE
You can power your CD player from:
Four AA alkaline batteries or two
rechargeable nickel-cadmium bat-
tery packs (none supplied)
Standard AC power, using an AC
adapter (not supplied)
A vehicle’s battery power, using a
DC adapter (not supplied)
USING BATTERIES
You can power your CD player from
four AA alkaline batteries (such as Ra-
dioShack Cat. No. 23-552) or two re-
chargeable nickel-cadmium battery
packs (Cat. No. RSU 11377181, avail-
able through your local RadioShack
store). The CD player can recharge
the nickel-cadmium battery packs
while they are in the CD player.
Installing Batteries
1. Slide the battery compartment
cover in the direction of the arrow,
then lift it open.
2. Place four AA batteries or two
rechargeable nickel-cadmium bat-
tery packs in the compartment as
indicated by the polarity symbols
(+ and –) marked on the bottom of
the CD player.
Cautions:
Use only batteries of the
required size and type.
Never mix fresh and old batter-
ies, alkaline and nickel-
cadmium battery packs, or
nickel-cadmium batteries of dif-
ferent capacities.
If you do not plan to use the CD
player for a month or more,
remove and store the batteries.
3. Close the battery compartment
cover.
Replace or recharge the batteries
when flashes on the display, the
sound distorts, or the volume weak-
ens.
Cautions:
Always dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly.
Never heat, disassemble, or throw
batteries into a fire.
• Never leave dead, old, or weak
batteries in the CD player. Batter-
ies can leak chemicals that cor-
rode or damage electronic
circuits.
