Using the AC adaptor
Connect the AC adaptor supplied.
Note!
≥The configuration of the AC adaptor differs according to the
area.
≥The unit is in the standby condition when the AC adaptor is con-
nected. The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the AC
adaptor is connected to an electrical outlet.

Using the external battery case
The external battery case allows you to extend the maximum
playing time of the unit by loading an additional two LR6 (UM-3)
(not included) alkaline batteries.
1 Open the cover of the external bat-
tery case and insert the batteries.
Insert the end
marked (j) first.
2 Mount the external battery case on
the unit.
Insert the protrusions on
the external battery case
into the three
indentations in the unit .
3 Secure in place with the screw.
Reverse the above procedure to remove the external bat-
tery case.
For your reference:
≥The unit can be powered by the batteries in the external battery
case alone. No batteries need to be loaded in the player.
≥The maximum playing time will differ depending on the type of
batteries (rechargeable/dry-cell) loaded in the unit.
If the cover of the external battery case
comes loose:
Insert the protrusions
into the holes on
either end of the case.
Note!
≥Though you can use rechargeable batteries in the external bat-
tery case, it does not recharge them. (Use dry-cell batteries if
possible.)
≥If rechargeable batteries and dry-cell batteries are used togeth-
er, make sure to use fully charged rechargeable batteries and
new dry-cell batteries.
≥When using four dry-cell batteries, do not mix new and old bat-
teries.
Using rechargeable batteries
(not included)
Make sure to recharge the batteries before using them. The unit
cannot be used to charge rechargeable batteries other than those
specially designed for it.

teries into the unit.

Recharging starts and the “H” charging indicator flashes
on and off on the unit’s display.
When the rechargeable batteries are fully recharged, the
charging indicator disappears.

plug the AC adaptor from the
household mains socket and the DC
IN jack.

Using dry-cell batteries
(not included)
After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two LR03 (UM-4) alka-
line batteries.
The procedure for inserting and removing dry-cell
batteries is identical to that for rechargeable bat-
teries.
When the battery indicator flashes
Power is cut off a short while later. Recharge the rechargeable
batteries or replace the dry-cell batteries with new ones.
Note!
≥The length of time the unit will continue to operate between
when the battery indicator starts flashing and when the power is
cut off differs depending on the type of batteries used.
≥The battery indicator may not be displayed if rechargeable bat-
teries other than those designated by Panasonic are used.
Using the car adaptor (not included)
Be sure to obtain the car adaptor (SH-CDC9), available as an op-
tional accessory.
The car adaptor can be used to recharge the unit’s batteries while
in the car.
This function causes the unit to ignore short, accidental
button presses. (The disc lid can still be opened and
closed.)
The HOLD function prevents the following:
≥Powering on the unit accidentally (which can cause
the batteries to run down).
≥Play being cut off unexpectedly in the middle of a se-
lection.
To use the HOLD function
Set [HOLD] to the HOLD position.
The unit and wired remote control have HOLD func-
tions, each of which works independently.
“(” indication
When the unit is in HOLD mode, pressing any button
causes the indication “(” to appear on the display.
When the unit is powered off
The “(” indication appears only when [1;] is
pressed.
Before operating the buttons
Be sure to move [HOLD] to release the unit from
the HOLD mode.

Note!
≥Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approximately 300
charge-discharge cycles. If the operating time on one full
charge becomes noticeably shorter than it used to be, the bat-
tery has reached the end of its service life and should be re-
placed.
≥Recharging may only be performed when the unit is powered
off. (It is not possible to recharge the batteries while playing a
CD.)
≥The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may become warm
while recharging is in progress. This is not a malfunction.
