Recharging procedure

1 Slide [OPEN ] to open the lid.

2 Open the battery lids and insert the

two rechargeable batteries.

Press to open in step 1.

3

Connect the AC adaptor.

Recharging starts. The main unit's recharging lamp

and the indicator disappears. (It takes approximately 5 hours
to fully recharge the supplied rechargeable batteries.)

4 When recharging is complete, unplug

the AC adaptor from the household
mains socket and the DC IN jack.

Note!

≥Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approxi-

mately 300 charge-discharge cycles. If the operating
time on one full charge becomes noticeably shorter
than it used to be, the battery has reached the end of
its service life and should be replaced.

≥Recharging may only be performed when the unit is

powered off.

Refer to step 3 in “Using rechargeable batteries” for
connection instructions.

Note!

≥The unit is in the standby condition when the AC

adaptor is connected. The primary circuit is always
“live” as long as the AC adaptor is connected to an

≥The rechargeable batteries will not be recharged dur-

ing play.

≥Turn the unit off before connecting or disconnecting

the AC adaptor.

Using the car adaptor (not included)

≥The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may be-

come warm while recharging is in progress. This is not
a malfunction.

≥The rechargeable batteries should be changed when

the unit is off.

≥Leaving the AC adaptor connected can cause the bat-
