If you connect the supplied DC adapt-
er (see “Using Vehicle Battery Power”
on Page 8) or an AC adapter (see
“Using AC Power” on Page 8) to the
CD player, you can set the CD play-
er to charge nickel-cadmium batter-
ies while they are inside the CD
player’s battery compartment.
Cautions:
• Use only the supplied DC adapter
or an AC adapter that meets the
specifications in “Using AC Power”
on Page 8 to recharge the batteries
in the CD player. Other adapters
could damage your CD player or
the batteries.
• Do not use the CD player or open
the CD compartment cover while
you are charging nickel-cadmium
batteries.

more efficiently if the temperature
is above 40°F (4.5°C) and below
90°F (32°C).

cally stops charging them and
