alkaline batteries, the included AC Adaptor or the optional Car Adaptor (SH-CDC6, optional).

■ Rechargeable batteries opera tion

For its initial use after purchasing or after a long time interval (more than three months), make sure to recharge the rechargeable batteries. Normally 1 hour recharging will give approximately 1.5

hours and 3 hours recharging will give ap proximately 2.5 hours play.

1. Open the battery compartment cover and insert the rechargeable batteries into the battery compartment, making sure that the proper polarities are main tained.

2. Close the cover and connect the AC Adaptor as shown in the figure.

•The Charge Indicator will begin flashing. When the indicator lights, playing for

approximately 1.5 hours can be oper ated. The indicator will turn off, when the

charging is finished.

3. Disconnect the AC Adaptor.

•The unit can be turned on with the AC Adaptor while the battery is being re

charged. In this case, the recharging time will be longer than the specified time.

•During playing, the charge indicator will not come up if the rechargeable batteries are inserted.

•Rechargeable battery life

This rechargeable battery can be

recharged about 300 times. Over 300 times, its operation time will become shor tened. That’s time for replacing the rechar geable batteries with new ones

(SH-CDB8).

• Battery condition can be checked by the Battery Check Indicator on the display. When the batteries are weak, the Battery Check Indicator begins to flash on and off, and then the unit will automatically shut off.
