Follow these steps to charge recharge-
able batteries.
1. Connect an optional AC or DC
adapter to the CD player’s
DC IN
4.5V
jack (see “Using AC Power” or
“Using Vehicle Battery Power” on
Page 8).
2. After 17 hours, unplug the adapter
then disconnect it from the CD
player’s
DC IN 4.5V
jack.
Caution:
Do not overcharge the batter-
ies. Overcharging can significantly re-
duce the batteries' useful life.
Important:
This CD
player can use nickel-
cadmium rechargeable
batteries. At the end of a
nickel-cadmium bat-
tery's useful life, it must
be recycled or disposed of properly.
Contact your local, county, or state haz-
ardous waste management authorities
for information on recycling or disposal
programs in your area or call 1-800-
843-7422. Some options that might be
available are: municipal curbside collec-
tion, drop-off boxes at retailers such as
your local RadioShack store, recycling
collection centers, and mail-back pro-
grams.
USING AC POWER
You can power the CD player using an
4.5-volt, 600-mA AC adapter and a size
B Adaptaplug
®
adapter (neither sup-
plied). Both adapters are available at
your local RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2
adapter that supplies 4.5
volts DC and delivers at
least 600 mA. Its center tip must be
set to positive and its plug must fit
the CD player's
DC IN 4.5V
jack. Us-
ing an adapter that does not meet
these specifications could damage
the CD player or the adapter.
Always connect the AC adapter to
the CD player before you connect it
to AC power. When you finish, dis-
connect the adapter from AC power
before you disconnect it from the
CD player.
Follow these steps to connect the CD
player to AC power.
1. Insert the recommended Adapta-
plug adapter into the AC adapter’s
cord, setting TIP to + (positive).
2. Set the AC adapter’s voltage switch
to 4.5V.
3. Insert the AC adapter’s barrel plug
into the CD player’s
DC IN 4.5V
jack.
4. Plug the other end of the adapter
into a standard AC outlet.
