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.

Power Supply Preparations

Refer to the speciﬁcations (page 6) for information on operating times when using rechargeable batteries or dry-cell batteries.

Using the AC adaptor (not included)

Connect the AC adaptor.

Conserving power

To save power when the unit is not to be used for a long time, unplug the AC adaptor from the household AC outlet. Reprogram tracks if necessary before use.

Using rechargeable batteries (not included)

Obtain the optional rechargeable batteries. Make sure to recharge the batteries before using them. The unit cannot be used to charge rechargeable batteries other than those specially designed for it. ≥Optional batteries (P-3GAVA/2B)

Recharging procedure

1 Insert the special rechargeable bat-

teries into the unit.

2 Connect the AC adaptor.

(Refer to “Using the AC adaptor” for connection instructions.) Recharging starts and the “H

” charging indicator ﬂashes on and off on the unit’s display. When the rechargeable batteries fully recharge the charging indicator disappears.

3 When recharging is complete, un-

plug the AC adaptor from the household AC outlet 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.

≥The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may be-

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

Using the car adaptor (not included)

Be sure to obtain the car adaptor (SH-CDC9), available as an optional accessory. The car adaptor can be used to recharge the unit’s batteries while in the car.

Using dry-cell batteries (not included)

After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two “AA” (LR6) alkaline batteries.

The procedure for inserting and removing dry-cell batteries is identical to that for rechargeable batteries.

Battery indicator

This indicator ﬂashes on and off 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 ﬂash if rechargeable

batteries other than those designated by Panasonic are used.

Removing batteries

Push up on the battery in the direction indicated by the arrow. Then lift it out.

If the battery lid comes loose

Slide the lid back into place horizontally.

HOLD Function

This function causes the unit to ignore short, accidental button presses. (The disc lid can still be opened and closed.)

The HOLD function prevents the following:

≥Powering on the unit accidentally

(which can cause the batteries to run down).

≥Play being cut off unexpectedly in the

middle of a selection.

To use the HOLD function

Set [HOLD] to the HOLD position.

“(” indication

When the unit is in HOLD status, pressing any button (other than the OPEN button) causes the indication “(” to appear on the display.
