Optimus CD-3590 Portable CD Player User Manual


 
10
Under normal usage condi-
tions, the nickel-cadmium bat-
tery pack can be recharged
about 500 times.
Fully discharge the battery pack
occasionally by playing the CD
player until it no longer plays.
Then fully recharge the battery
pack. This helps restore the bat-
tery pack’s full charging capac-
ity.
Avoid charging the battery pack
in a hot environment (more than
113°F) as this can permanently
reduce the battery pack’s charg-
ing capacity.
Do not overcharge the battery
pack. Overcharging can severe-
ly reduce a battery pack’s useful
life.
Do not short-circuit the battery
pack’s terminals (+ and –).
Important: This portable CD player
is capable of using a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery pack. At the
end of its useful life, the battery pack
must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Contact your local, county,
or state hazardous waste manage-
ment authorities for information on
recycling or disposal programs in
your area. Some options that might
be available are: municipal curb-side
collection, drop-off boxes at retail-
ers, recycling collection centers, and
mail-back programs.
