³Turn the unit off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

Using the rechargeable batteries

Make sure to recharge the batteries before using them. The unit cannot be used to charge rechargeable batteries other than those specifically designed for it.

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 are fully recharged the charging indicator disappears.

3 When recharging is complete, unplug the AC adaptor from the household mains socket and the DC IN jack.

Note!

³Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approximately 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.

³Recharging may only be performed when the unit is powered off.

³The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may become warm while recharging is in progress. This is not a malfunction.

³The rechargeable batteries should be changed when the unit is off.

Using dry-cell batteries (not included)

After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two LR03 (UM-4) alkaline batteries.

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

Note!

The dry cell batteries should be changed when the unit is off.

When the battery indicator flashes

Power is cut off a short while later. Recharge the rechargeable batteries or replace the dry cell batteries with new ones.

Note!

³How long the unit continues to operate after the battery indicator starts flashing depends on the type of batteries and on whether you are using the unit to play CDs or the radio.

³The battery indicator may not flash if rechargeable 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.

The car adaptor can be used to recharge the unit’s batteries while in the car.

³Though you can use rechargeable batteries in the battery case, it does not recharge them. (Use dry cell batteries if possible.)

³When using rechargeable batteries in the unit body, and dry-cell batteries in the battery case, be sure to use fully charged rechargeable batteries and new drycell batteries.

³When using four dry-cell batteries, do not mix new and old batteries.

If the unit malfunctions or freezes during use, disconnect the power sources (the AC adaptor or external battery case).

Re-connect the power source or continue operation.
