• Keep the CD inside the CD player or
in its protec tive case or sleeve when
you are not playing it.
• Handle a CD by its ed ges to avoid
fingerprints that c an prevent th e CD
player’s las er beam from acc urately
reading the CD. Your local RadioShack store sells a suitable CD
cleaner kit.
• Do not write on either side of the
CD, particularly the non-label side.
(Signals are read fro m the non-la bel
side.)
• Keep the CD dry. A water drop can
act as a lens and affect the laser
beam’s focus.
• Never use c he mica l s su ch as re cor d
cleaning sprays, anti-static sprays
or fluids, benzene, or thinner to
clean CDs. These chemicals will
permanently damage the plastic
surface of the CD.
The CD player’s advanced technology
makes it simple to operate . But, be sur e
you read this Owner’s Manual completely so you can take advantage of all its
advanced features.
• If a CD skips when you try to play
it, the CD might be scratched. Your
local RadioShack store sells a

POWERING THE CD PLAYER
You can power your CD pl ay er fro m an y
of these sources:
• two AA alkaline batteries (not supplied)
• two rechargeable AA nickelcadmium batteries (not supplied)
Note:
nickel-cadmium batteries, you need to
charge them, either in an external battery charger (avail able at your local RadioShack store) or in th e CD pl ay er ( se e
“Recharging Nick el-Cadmium Batteries”
on Page 7).
Before you use the CD player with
• vehicle battery power usin g the s up plied DC adapter
• standard AC power using an AC
adapter (not supplied)
Note:
The CD player senses whether or
not the batteries you install are rechargeable, and turns on the charging
circuit or disconnects the batteries accordingly.
USING BATTERIES
Your CD player can use two AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best
performance and longest life, we rec om mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
You can also use rechargeable nickelcadmium batteries to power your CD
player.
Cautions:
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
1. Press down on the battery com partment cover and slid e it in the direction of the arrow on the cover, then
lift the cover.
Caution:
cover is attached to the CD player.
Do not try to remove it.
2. Put two AA alkaline or nickelcadmium batteries in the battery
compartment, as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked
outside.
The battery compartment
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
6
3. Close the battery compartment
cover.
When flashes on the display, the
sound distorts, or the volu me weakens,
replace or recharge the batteries.
Warning:
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
Dispose of old batteries
Page 7
42-5099.fm Page 7 Thursday, January 20, 2000 2:52 PM
Caution:
If you do not plan to use the
CD player with batteries for a mo nth or
more, remove the batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.
Recharging Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries
If you connect the suppl ied DC adapter
(see “Using Vehicle Battery Power” on
Page 8) or an AC adapter (see “Using
AC Power” on Page 8) to the CD player,
nickel-cadmium batteries automatically
charge 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 listed in “Us ing AC Power”
on Page 8 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.
2. Insert two RSU 11672508 Ni-Cd
batteries into the battery compartment. The CD player starts to
charge the batteries. Initi al and subsequent charging takes about 14
hours.
3. It takes about 14 hours to charge
new or fully discharged nickelcadmium batteries. Subsequent
charges take 2–3 hours.
When the batteries are fully
charged, disconnect the AC or DC
adapter.
Important:
This CD player can use Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries. At
the end of a Ni-Cd battery's useful life, it must

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.
• Nickel-cadmium batteries charge
more efficiently if the tempe rature is
above 40°F (4.5°C) an d below 90°F
(32°C).
Follow these steps to charge RSU
11672508 Ni-Cd batteries in the CD
player.

• Set the volume to the low est setting
before you begin liste ning. A fter yo u
begin listening, adjus t the volume to
a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at e xtremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volum e level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your
hearing.
Traffic Safety
Do not wear earphones or headpho nes
while operatin g a m otor vehi cle or ridin g

Even though some earphones and
headphones let you hear some outside
sounds when listen in g at nor ma l v olume

Your local RadioShack carries a wide
