Rechargeable batteries
• Only the BN-R1211 battery can be recharged.
• If the power delivered by the batteries lasts for a very short
time after recharging, it means that the batteries’ service life is
over. Do not use them any more.
• Recharging already charged batteries will shorten their service
life.
• When recharging batteries for the first time or when they have
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 batteries. This will restore them to their regular
state.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of rechargeable batteries since this may cause short-circuiting which
is dangerous.
• Do not peel off the plastic covering on the rechargeable batteries. Short-circuiting may occur which is dangerous.
Dry cell batteries / rechargeable
batteries
To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed
the following points.
• Align the ª and · polarities properly when inserting the batteries.
• Do not mix different types or makes of batteries or old and new
batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a
long period of time.
• Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, disassemble or subject them to excessive heat.
• Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
Carrying dry cell batteries /
rechargeable batteries around
When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or bag,
ensure that no other metal objects such as a necklace are placed
together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.
When purchasing rechargeable
batteries
As a safety precaution, the portable CD players made by JVC
have a construction designed to make it impossible to recharge
ordinary batteries.
To use rechargeable batteries, be absolutely sure to purchase the
rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries designed especially for this unit.
Special rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries:
BN-R1211 (set of 2)

Notes:
• Rechargeable batteries have 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 batteries
have reached the end of their service life and should be replaced.
• You can recharge the batteries only when the unit is turned off.
• The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may become warm
while recharging is in progress. This is normal and is not a mal-
function.

Anti-Shock Protection EX
This function has been developed to achieve excellent performance
against sound interruption caused by vibrations. You will be able
to enjoy listening to music during jogging (not vigorous jogging).
This function is achieved by utilizing the high-performance
servo circuit and audio data that has been stored in the memory
ahead of time (up to 45 seconds worth).
Normally, the “ANTI SHOCK” indicator lights up on the display
and the Anti-Shock Protection EX is in effect.
When the disc is played, as the audio data gradually stored in
the memory, the “ANTI SHOCK” indicator changes as follows:

Notes:
• During Anti-Shock Protection EX operation, the disc rotates at
a higher rate than usual in order to collect extra audio data.
This may cause the batteries to run out faster and could result
in a slight increase in disc rotation noise.
• The Anti-Shock Protection EX function can be switched ON
and OFF during playback. However, this may cause a slight
interruption in the sound because the disc’s rotational speed
changes.
