and properly.
Recharging Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries
If you connect the supplied DC adapter
(see “Using Vehicle Battery Power” on
Page 8) or an AC adapter (see “Using
AC Power” on Page 9) to the CD player,
you can set the CD player to charge
nickel-cadmium batteries while they are
inside the CD player’s battery compart-
ment.
Cautions:
• Use only the supplied DC adapter or
an AC adapter that meets the speci-
fications in “Using AC Power” on
Page 9 to recharge the batteries in
the CD player. Other adapters could
damage your CD player or the bat-
teries.
• Do not use the CD player or open
the CD compartment cover while
you are charging nickel-cadmium
batteries.
• Nickel-cadmium batteries charge
more efficiently if the temperature is
above 40°F (4.5°C) and below 90°F
(32°C).
Follow these steps to charge nickel-
cadmium batteries in the CD player.
1. Connect an AC adapter or the sup-
plied DC adapter to your CD player
(see “Using AC Power” on Page 9
or “Using Vehicle Battery Power” on
Page 8).
2. With rechargeable batteries in-
stalled and the CD compartment
cover closed, press

It takes about 3 hours to charge
new or fully discharged nickel-
cadmium batteries. Subsequent
charges take 2–3 hours.
Note: During recharging, the auto
power on/off feature is disabled.
3. When the batteries are fully
charged, the CD player automati-
cally stops charging them and turns
off. Disconnect the AC or DC
adapter.
