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 batteries (not supplied)
vehicle battery power using he supplied DC adapter
standard AC power using an AC adapter (not supplied)
Note: The CD player senses whether or not the batteries you install are
rechargeables, and turns on the charging circuit or disconnects the
batteries accordingly.
USING BATTERIES
You can power your CD player from two AA alkaline batteries (such as
RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552) or two rechargeable AA nickel-cadmium
batteries (such as Cat. No. 23-125).
CAUTIONS: Always use fresh, or freshly charged, batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable nickel-cadmium), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
1. Press down on the battery compartment cover and slide it in the
direction of the arrow on the cover, then lift the cover.
CAUTION: The battery compartment cover is attached to the CD player.
Do not try to remove it.
2. Put two AA alkaline batteries or two AA nickel-cadmium batteries in
the battery compartment, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and
-) marked inside.
Note: Before you use the CD player with nickel-cadmium batteries, you
need to charge them, either in an external battery charger
(such as Cat. No. 23-134) or in the CD player (see "Recharging
Nickel-Cadmium Batteries" below).
3. Close the battery compartment cover.
When (battery symbol) flashes on the display, the sound distorts, or the
volume weakens, replace or recharge the batteries.
CAUTIONS: If you will not be using the CD player with battery power for
more than a month, or if you plan to use only AC or DC power,
remove the batteries.
Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
Recharging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries
If you connect the supplied DC adapter (see "Using Vehicle Battery Power"
below) or an AC adapter (see "Using AC Power" below) to the CD player, you
can set the CD player to charge nickel-cadmium batteries while they are
inside the CD player's battery compartment.
CAUTIONS: Use only the supplied DC adapter or an AC adapter that meets
the specifications in "Using AC Power" to recharge the
batteries in the CD player. Other adapters could damage your
CD player or the batteries.
Do not use the CD player or open the CD compartment cover while
you are charging nickel-cadmium batteries.
Nickel-cadmium batteries charge more efficiently if the
temperature is above 40 degrees F (4.5 degrees C) and below 90
degrees F (32 degrees C).
Follow these steps to charge nickel-cadmium batteries in the CD player.
1. Connect an AC adapter or the supplied DC adapter to your CD player
(see "Using AC Power" below or "Using Vehicle Battery Power" below.
2. With rechargeable batteries installed and the CD compartment cover
closed, press STOP/CLEAR. CHG flashes on the display. Then CHG CHG
CHG appears and the CD player starts to recharge the batteries.
It takes about 3 hours to charge new or fully discharged
nickel-cadmium batteries. Subsequent charges take 2-3 hours.
Note: During recharging, the auto power on/off feature is disabled.
3. When the batteries are fully charged, the CD player automatically
stops charging them and turns off. Disconnect the AC or DC adapter.
IMPORTANT: Your CD player is capable of using nickel-cadmium batteries.
At the end of the batteries' useful life, they must be
recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your local, county,
or state hazardous waste management authorities for
information on recycling or disposal programs in your area.
Some options that might be available are: municipal curbside
collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such as your local
RadioShack store, recycling collection centers, and mail-back
programs.
USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER
You can power the CD player from your vehicle's battery power with the
supplied DC adapter.
CAUTIONS: The supplied DC adapter supplies 6 volts and delivers at least
500 milliamps. Its center tip is set to positive, and its plug
correctly fits the CD player's DC IN 6V jack. Using a DC
adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage
the CD player or the DC adapter.
When you finish using the CD player, always unplug the DC
adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket before you disconnect
it from your CD player.
Follow these steps to connect the CD player to your vehicle's battery
power.
1. Insert the DC adapter's barrel plug into the CD player's DC IN 6V
jack.
2. Make sure the DC adapter's tip is screwed in tightly, then plug the DC
adapter's other end into your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.
Note: If the CD player does not operate when you use the DC adapter,
unplug the cord from the cigarette-lighter socket and clean any
ashes or debris from the socket.
USING AC POWER
You can power the CD player from a standard AC outlet using an optional AC
adapter such as Cat. No. 273-1664.
CAUTIONS: You must use an AC adapter that supplies 6 volts and delivers
at least 500 milliamps. Its center tip must be set to
positive, and its plug must correctly fit the CD player's DC IN
6V jack. The recommended adapter meets these specifications.
Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could
damage the CD player or the adapter.
When you finish using the AC adapter, unplug it from the AC
outlet first, then disconnect it from the CD player.
Follow these steps to connect the CD player to AC power.
1. Insert the AC adapter's 4.0 mm outer diameter/1.7 mm inner diameter
barrel plug into the adapter's cord, setting TIP to + (positive).
2. Set the AC adapter's voltage switch to 6V.
3. Insert the AC adapter's barrel plug into the CD player's DC IN 6V
jack.
4. Plug the other end of the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
