Safety

1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.

2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.

4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric shock.

5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms. Leaving the unit connected to a household AC outlet for extended periods can cause battery fluid leakage.

6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

Important note about the memory and the power supply

To preserve the contents of the memory, ensure the unit has a constant supply of power.

≥Turn the unit off before changing the batteries and

before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

≥The unit can maintain the memory without power

for about one minute. Change batteries or reconnect the AC adaptor within this time.

≥As a precaution, insert batteries even when using

the AC adaptor or car adaptor.

Note!

≥Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approxi-

mately 300 charge-discharge cycles. The batteries have reached the end of their operational life if they last for a noticeably shorter time after recharging, or if they cannot be recharged at all. Replace the batteries.

≥Recharging may only be performed when the unit is

powered off.

≥The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may be-

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

≥Leaving the AC adaptor connected can cause the bat-

teries to go flat. After recharging the batteries and disconnecting the AC adaptor from the household AC outlet, ensure you disconnect the AC adaptor from the unit’s [DC IN 4.5 V

] terminal.

When the battery indicator flashes

This indicator flashes when the batteries are almost out of power. Power is cut off completely a short while later.

Rechargeable batteries: Recharge batteries. Dry-cell batteries: Replace batteries with new ones.

Note!

≥The length of time the unit will continue to operate be-

tween when the battery indicator starts flashing and when the power is cut off differs depending on the type of batteries used.

≥The battery indicator may not be displayed if recharge-

able batteries other than those designated by Panasonic are used.

Using the car adaptor (not included)

Be sure to obtain the car adaptor (SH-CDC9), available as an optional accessory.
