Powering the CD Player
You can power your CD player from
any of these sources:
• two AA alkaline batteries (not
supplied)
• two rechargeable AA nickel-
cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries (not
supplied)
• vehicle battery power using a DC
adapter (not supplied)
• 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, provided the correct batter-
ies are installed.
USING BATTERIES
Your CD player can use two AA bat-
teries (not supplied) for power. For
the best performance and longest life,
we recommend RadioShack alkaline
batteries.
You can also use rechargeable Ni-Cd
batteries to power your CD player.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh (or freshly
charged) 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 dif-
ferent capacities.
Note:
Before you use the CD player
with Ni-Cd batteries, you need to
charge them, either in an external
battery charger (available at your lo-
cal RadioShack store) or in the CD
player (see “Recharging Nickel-Cad-
mium Batteries” on Page 6).
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Slide the battery compartment
cover in the direction of the arrow
to remove it.
2. Place the batteries in the com-
partment and on top of the
attached ribbon, as indicated by
the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
When flashes, the sound be-
comes weak or distorted, or the CD
player stops operating properly, re-
place the batteries.
Warning:
Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
Caution:
If you do not plan to use the
CD player with batteries for a month
