CHOOSING A POWER SOURCE
You can power your CD player from:
Internal battery power (using two
AA alkaline or rechargeable
nickel-cadmium batteries, not sup-
plied)
Standard AC power (using an
optional AC adapter, not supplied)
Vehicle battery power (using an
optional DC adapter, not supplied)
USING BATTERIES
You can power your CD player from
two AA batteries. For the best results,
we recommend alkaline batteries,
such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-552/
557. Or, you can use rechargeable
nickel-cadmium batteries, such as Cat.
No. 23-125, and charge them in the
CD player with the supplied battery
adapter.
Installing Batteries
1. Slide off the battery compartment
cover in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert two AA batteries into the
battery compartment according to
the polarity symbols (+ and –) in
the compartment.
Notes:
Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and type.
Never mix fresh and old, alka-
line and nickel-cadmium batter-
ies, or nickel-cadmium batteries
of different capacities.
To help you remove the batter-
ies later, place them across the
ribbon.
3. Replace the cover.
Notes:
Replace the batteries when
BATT
appears on the display, the sound
distorts, or the volume weakens.
Always dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly.
• Never leave dead, old, or weak
batteries in the CD player. They
can leak chemicals and corrode or
damage electronic circuits.
