• Two AA batteries

USING BATTERIES
You can power your CD player from
battery power using:
•
Two AA alkaline batteries
(such
as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552)
•
Two
special
AA rechar
g
eable
nickel-cadmium batteries
(RSU
No. 11672508, available through
your local RadioShack store).
You can charge these batteries
while they are in the battery com-
partment using an AC or DC
adapter. (See “Using AC Power”
on Page 7 or “Using Vehicle Bat-
tery Power” on Page 8.)
•
Two standard AA rechar
g
eable
nickel-cadmium batteries
(such
as Cat. No. 23-125).
Your CD player does not recharge
standard AA rechargeable batter-
ies inside its battery compartment,
but you can charge them with an
external battery charger (Cat. No.
23-133).
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the re-
quired size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of differ-
ent capacities.
All types of nickel-cadmium batteries
come fully discharged. Be sure to fully
charge the batteries before you use
them the first time.

Tips
• It takes about 14 hours to charge
fully discharged nickel-cadmium
batteries in the CD player while it
is not being used to play CDs.
• When the nickel-cadmium batter-
ies fully charge, unplug the
adapter from the AC outlet or cig-
arette-lighter socket, then discon-
nect the adapter from the CD
player.
• You can play a CD while recharg-
ing the special nickel-cadmium
batteries; however, this will cause
the batteries to recharge more
slowly.
• Always keep the charging termi-
nals on the rechargeable batteries
clean. Use a cotton swab dipped
in alcohol to clean the terminals.
• Under normal usage conditions,
nickel-cadmium batteries can be
recharged about 500 times.
