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 re-
chargeable, and turns on the charging
circuit or disconnects the batteries ac-
cordingly.
USING BATTERIES
Your CD player can use two AA batter-
ies (not supplied) for power. For the best
performance and longest life, we recom-
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
You can also use rechargeable nickel-
cadmium batteries to power your CD
player.
Cautions:
Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
Note:
Before you use the CD player with
nickel-cadmium batteries, you need to
charge them, either in an external bat-
tery charger (available at your local Ra-
dioShack store) or in the CD player (see
“Recharging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries”
on Page 7).
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 or nickel-
cadmium batteries in the battery
compartment, as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked
outside.
3. Close the battery compartment
cover.
When flashes on the display, the
sound distorts, or the volume weakens,
replace or recharge the batteries.
Warning:
Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
