POWERING THE CD PLAYER
You can power your CD player from any
of these sources:
two AA alkaline batteries (not sup-
plied)
two rechargeable AA nickel-
cadmium batteries (not supplied)
vehicle battery power using the sup-
plied DC adapter
standard AC power using an AC
adapter (not supplied)
Note:
The CD player senses whether or
not the batteries you install are rechar-
gables, and turns on the charging circuit
or disconnects the batteries accordingly.
USING BATTERIES
You can power your CD player from two
AA alkaline batteries (such as Ra-
dioShack Cat. No. 23-552) or two re-
chargeable AA nickel-cadmium bat-
teries (such as Cat. No. 23-125).
Cautions
:
Always use fresh, or freshly
charged, batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable
nickel-cadmium), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install the batter-
ies.
1. Press down on the battery compart-
ment cover and slide it in the direc-
tion of the arrow on the cover, then
lift the cover.
Caution:
The battery compartment
cover is attached to the CD player.
Do not try to remove it.
2. Put two AA alkaline batteries or two
AA nickel-cadmium batteries in the
battery compartment, as indicated
by the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside.
Note
: Before you use the CD player
with nickel-cadmium batteries, you
need to charge them, either in an
external battery charger (such as
Cat. No. 23-134) or in the CD player
(see “Recharging Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries” on Page 7).
3. Close the battery compartment
cover.
When flashes on the display, the
sound distorts, or the volume weakens,
replace or recharge the batteries.
