Cautions
Batteries
• Before replacing batteries, always turn the minidisc player off.
Rechargeable Ni - MH battery :
• Use only the rechargeable battery BN-R1210 (supplied) or BN-R127 (not supplied) with this
minidisc player.
• If the power delivered by the battery lasts for a very short time after recharging, it means
that the battery’s service life is over. Do not use it any more.
• Recharging an already charged battery will shorten its service life.
• When recharging a battery for the first time, or when it has not been used for a long period
of time, the play time may be shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and
discharge the battery. This will restore it to its regular state.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of the rechargeable battery because
this may cause dangerous short-circuiting.
• Recharge the battery at a temperature of 10°C to 35°C.
Rechargeable battery:
To prevent damage to the battery, and to avoid electrolyte leakage, heed the following instructions.
• Align the
ª
and
·
polarities properly when inserting the batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the minidisc player for a long period of time.
• Do not expose the batteries to open flame, and do not short-circuit, disassemble, or subject
them to excessive heat.
Carrying batteries:
• When putting rechargeable battery in a pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal objects,
such as necklaces or coins, are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause
short-circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.

Maintenance
Unit:
Wipe the unit and remote control with a soft cloth. Remove stubborn dirt using a cloth which
has been dipped in water (or soapy water) and wrung out. Then wipe them dry.
• If you intend to use a chemically treated cleaning cloth, read its directions first.
• Do not use alcohol or paint thinners.
MDs:
If the MD cartridge is dirty wipe it with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.
When storing MDs, avoid locations which are
• Exposed to direct sunlight.
• Susceptible to high levels of humidity or dust.
• Directly exposed to heat from a heating appliance.
• On top of a car dashboard or near the rear window.
Handling the MDs
• Do not open the shutter. The shutter is usually locked to prevent opening. Do not force in to
open, or the disc may be destroyed.
This unit has been manufactured with
great precision. Applying a strong shock to
the unit or dropping it may cause a failure:
For example, if you sit down with the unit
into a back pocket of your trousers, it may
exert the pressure upon the unit and may
cause a failure.
