Using the rechargeable Ni-MH battery (included)

1

Remove the rechargeable battery from its case.

2

Insert the rechargeable battery into the charger/adaptor.

3

Set the switch on the charger/adaptor to “CHARGER”.

4

Connect the AC adaptor to the charger/adaptor.

The charge indicator will initially light red. It will go out when recharg-
ing is completed. When recharging is complete, unplug the AC adap-
tor from the AC outlet and the charger/adaptor.

6

Notes:

• You cannot use the MD player while charging the rechargeable battery.
• It takes approximately 2 hours to recharge the rechargeable battery.
• The rechargeable battery has a service life of approximately 300 charge-discharge cycles. If

the operating time on one full charge becomes noticeably shorter than it used to be, the bat-
tery has reached the end of its service life and should be replaced.

• The AC adaptor and rechargeable battery may become warm while recharging. This is not a

malfunction.

• When recharging the rechargeable battery which was left unused for a long time, the charge

indicator may not light immediately. It will light in a few minutes.

Refer to the specifications for information on operating time durations when using a recharge-
able battery, dry-cell battery, a or both together.

Using the AC adaptor

CAUTION: “Be sure there is no battery in the minidisc player or in the

dry-cell battery case.”

Attach the battery case to the minidisc player.

Turn the knob on the battery case toward “LOCK” until it stops. (To detach the battery
case, turn the knob toward “RELEASE” until the battery case comes loose.)

2

Set the switch on the charger/adaptor to “ADAPTOR”.

3

adaptor to the battery case.

Notes:

• The minidisc player is in a standby mode when the AC adaptor and charger/adaptor are connected.
• The primary circuit is “live” as long as the AC adaptor is connected to an electrical outlet.

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.

Dry cell battery and rechargeable battery:

To prevent damage to the batteries, 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.

• Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.

Carrying batteries:

• When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries 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.

• Be absolutely sure to carry the rechargeable battery in the battery carrying case.

Recycling Notice

The rechargeable battery is designated recyclable.

Please follow your local recycling regulations.

AC adaptor and charger/adaptor

• Handle the AC adaptor and charger/adaptor carefully. Improper handling is dangerous.

• Do not touch them with wet hands.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of them.

• Do not forcibly bend them.

• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor and charger/adaptor provided with this minidisc player.

• Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power outlet if the unit is not going to be used for a

long time.
