stroy electronic parts.
Recharging Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries
If you connect an AC or DC adapter
to the CD player (see “Using AC or
DC Power”), you can set the CD play-
er to charge RSU 11672508 Ni-Cd
batteries inside the CD player’s bat-
tery compartment.
Cautions:
Use only an AC or DC adapter
that meets the specifications in
“Using AC or DC Power” to
recharge the batteries in the CD
player. Other adapters could
damage your CD player or the
batteries.
Ni-Cd batteries charge more effi-
ciently if the temperature is
above 40°F (4.5°C) and below
90°F (32°C).
Follow these steps to charge Ni-Cd
batteries in the CD player.
1. Connect an AC or DC adapter to
your CD player.
2. Place two Ni-Cd batteries in the
compartment and on top of the
attached ribbon, as indicated by
the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside. The CD player
starts to charge the batteries. Ini-
tial and subsequent charging
takes about 16 hours.
Note:
While charging the
rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries, the
CHARGE indicator lights.
3. When the batteries are fully
charged, disconnect the AC or
DC adapter.
