• Fully discharge the battery pack
occasionally by playing the CD
player until it no longer plays.
Then fully recharge the battery
pack. This helps restore the bat-
tery pack’s full charging capac-
ity.
• Avoid charging the battery pack
in a hot environment (more than
113°F) as this can permanently
reduce the battery pack’s charg-
ing capacity.
• Do not overcharge the battery
pack. Overcharging can se-
verely reduce a battery pack’s
useful life.
• Do not short-circuit the battery
pack’s terminals (+ and –).
Important: This portable CD player
is capable of using a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery pack. At the
end of its useful life, the battery pack
must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Contact your local, county,
or state hazardous waste manage-
ment authorities for information on
recycling or disposal programs in
your area. Some options that might
be available are: municipal curb-side
collection, drop-off boxes at retail-
ers, recycling collection centers, and
mail-back programs.
USING AC POWER
You can power the CD player from
standard AC power using an AC
adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1664
(not supplied).
Cautions:
• You must use an AC adapter
that supplies 6 volts and deliv-
ers at least 550 milliamps. Its
center tip must be set to posi-
tive, and its plug must correctly
fit the CD player’s
EXT DC 6V
jack. The recommended AC
adapter meets these specifica-
tions. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifica-
tions could damage the CD
player or the adapter.
