Using the AC adaptor
Connect the AC adaptor supplied.
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 electrical outlet.
≥Turn the unit off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.
Using the car adaptor (not included)

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 approximately 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 become 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 batteries to go flat. After recharging the batteries and disconnecting the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet, ensure you disconnect the adaptor from the unit’s
3 [KDC IN 4.5 V ] terminal.
