Sony Corporation 1999 Printed in Malaysia
FM/AM CD Clock Radio
Operating Instructions
ICF-CD2000
Power Sources
The unit cannot be played on manganese
batteries. Use only alkaline batteries.
Installing the Lithium
Battery for Clock Backup
1 Insert a pointed object into the hole
beside the lithium battery compartment
to eject the tray.
PUSH
2 Place the lithium battery CR 2025 on
the tray with the e side facing up, and
slide the tray into the compartment
until you hear a click.
Note
The lithium battery is only for clock backup. The
unit cannot play a CD or the radio unless it is
powered by alkaline batteries or the AC power
adaptor.
Replacing the lithium battery
The battery life of the backup lithium battery is 3
months when both the alkaline batteries or house
current are not connceted. The lithium battery
will last longer with these power sources, since
either source will supply power for clock backup
as well.
If the clock flashes “AM 12:00” when you replace
the alkaline batteries, the lithium battery is
exhausted. Replace the lithium battery.
Reset the clock and the station presets if needed.
Notes on batteries
•Keep the lithium battery out of reach of
children. Should the battery be swallowed,
consult a doctor immediately.
•Wipe the batteries with a dry cloth to assure
good contact.
•Be sure to install the batteries in the correct
polarity position.
•Do not hold the batteries with metallic
tweezers, as doing so may cause a short-circuit.
•Do not break up the batteries or throw them
into a fire, which might cause them to explode.
Carefully dispose of used batteries.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is replaced
incorrectly. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type recommended by the equipment
manufacturer. Discard used batteries according
to manufacturer's instructions.
Installing Alkaline
Batteries
1 Slide the battery compartment lid in the
direction of the arrow and lift it up.
2 Install four size AA (LR6) alkaline
batteries with correct polarity.
Insert the batteries with the polarity as
shown in the diagram at the bottom of the
unit. Be sure to insert the batteries from the
E terminal.
Battery life
Using Sony alkaline size AA (LR6)
CD (ESP on) Approx. 7 hours
Radio Approx. 17 hours
Replacing batteries
•When the batteries become weak, “E” flashes
in the display. When the batteries are
exhausted, “E” stops flashing and remains in
the display. Replace all the four batteries with
new alkaline batteries of the same kind.
•When “E” is lit in the display, the unit stops
all operation. Only the clock display will
appear in the display. After replacing the
batteries, press CD u or RADIO•SLEEP so that
“E” disappears in the display.
When the battery compartment lid
becomes detached
The battery compartment lid is designed to
become detached if opened with excessive force.
In such a case, reattach it as shown below.

Note
When the unit is not being used for a long period
of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage
from battery leakage and corrosion.
Using House Current
Connect the supplied AC power adaptor
to the DC IN 6V jack, and plug it into a
wall outlet.
Be sure to plug in the adaptor securely to both
the DC IN 6V jack and to the wall outlet. The
unit automatically switches to external power
even with the batteries inserted.
Notes
•When using the unit on AC power, we
recommend that you remove the dry batteries
to avoid possible battery leakage.
•When the AC power adaptor is not to be used
for a long period of time, be sure to unplug it
both from the DC IN 6V jack and from the wall
outlet.
•Do not remove the lithium battery even when
operating the unit on house current, as it serves
as backup power for the memory.
•If power from the AC power adaptor is
disrupted due to power interruption, etc., the
unit switches to battery power when available.
•Use only the supplied Sony AC power adaptor.
Using any other adaptor may cause damage to
the unit.

potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones at high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud
