Caution:
If you do not plan to use the
CD player with batteries for a month or
more, remove the batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.
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 8) to the CD player,
nickel-cadmium batteries automatically
charge while they are inside the CD
player’s battery compartment.
Cautions:
Use only the supplied DC adapter or
an AC adapter that meets the speci-
fications listed 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.
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 RSU
11672508 Ni-Cd batteries in the CD
player.
1. Connect an AC or DC adapter to
your CD player
2. Insert two RSU 11672508 Ni-Cd
batteries into the battery compart-
ment. The CD player starts to
charge the batteries. Initial and sub-
sequent charging takes about 14
hours.
3. It takes about 14 hours to charge
new or fully discharged nickel-
cadmium batteries. Subsequent
charges take 2–3 hours.
When the batteries are fully
charged, disconnect the AC or DC
adapter.
Important:
This CD play-
er can use Ni-Cd re-
chargeable batteries. At
the end of a Ni-Cd bat-
tery's useful life, it must
be recycled or disposed
of properly. Contact your local, county,
or state hazardous 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 curb-
side collection, drop-off boxes at retail-
ers such as your local RadioShack
store, recycling collection centers, and
mail-back programs.
