Precautions
Before using this unit, be sure to read the applicable
items of the operating instructions and these safety suggestions carefully.
Afterwards keep them handy for future reference. Take
special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit
itself as well as in the operating instructions.
Safety
1. Power Source—The unit should be connected to
power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the unit. Use only
the AC adaptor or car adaptor described in the operating instructions when recharging.
2. Polarization—If the unit is equipped with a polarized
AC power plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other), that plug will fit into the AC outlet only one
way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
3. Care of AC adaptor— Take care that the cord of the
AC adaptor should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them. Never take hold of the AC
adaptor if your hand is wet, and always grasp the
plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.
4. Nonuse Periods— When not in use, be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet.
5. Batteries— If the set is not used for a long period of
time or is used only from an AC power source, remove all the batteries to prevent potential damage
due to possible battery leakage. Do not mix batteries
(old and new) or different types of batteries.
Installation
∫ Environment
1. Water and Moisture—Do not use this unit near
water—for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
swimming pool, or the like. Damp basements should
also be avoided.
2. Condensation—Moisture may form on the lens in
the following conditions.
2. ≥immediately after a heater has been turned on.
2. ≥in a steamy or very humid room.
2. ≥when the unit is suddenly moved from a cold envi-
ronment to a warm one. If moisture forms inside
this unit, it may not operate properly. To correct this
problem wait about one hour for the moisture to
evaporate.
3. Heat—Never use or place this unit near a heat
source. Do not leave it in an automobile exposed to
direct sunlight for a long time with the doors and windows closed as this may deform the cabinet.
∫ Placement
1. Foreign Material—Care should be taken so that ob-
jects do not fall into and liquids are not spilled into
the unit. Do not subject this unit to excessive smoke,
dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
2. Magnetism— The unit should be situated away from
equipment or devices that generate strong magnetic
fields.
3. Stacking— Do not place any objects, on top of the
unit.

Obtain the optional rechargeable batteries. (page 8)
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

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. (It is not possible to recharge the batteries while playing a CD.)
≥The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may be-
come warm while recharging is in progress. This is not
a malfunction.
Using the car adaptor

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
