•The batteries supplied with this unit
are designed for Technics brand porta
ble audio products only. Use in other
products could cause damage or per
sonal injury.
•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
for battery life and to prevent poten
tial damage due to possible battery
leakage.
Bottom of the unit
•Do not mix batteries (old and new) or
types (Ni-Cd, alkaline and carbon).
•Avoid using or placing this unit near

Operation Notes
■ Keep dust out.
Always be sure to close the disc holder to
keep dust away from the lens. Also be
careful never to touch the lens or disc plat
ter.
■ Open the disc holder carefully.
When opening the disc holder, hold the unit
horizontally so that the disc won’t fall out.
■ Moisture may form on the lens in
the following cases...
•Immediately after a heater has been
turned on.
•In a steamy or very humid room.
•When the unit is suddenly moved from a
cold environment 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.
■ Do not place near a tuner or tele
vision.
This unit uses high-frequency signals and
can cause interference with radio and tele
vision reception. Should this occur relocate
this unit away from them. If this does not
help, switch off operation to this unit when
listening to the the radio or watching TV.
When this unit is turned on with the AC
Adaptor, disconnect the AC Adaptor.
■ Keep away from tapes.
The magnet used in this unit might erase
the contents of nearly tapes.
■ About the play time display...
You may notice that there is a slight differ
ence (a few seconds) between the time
displayed for each tune and the time shown
in the notes included with the disc. This is
because the displayed time includes the
time between tracks.
■ Set to “HOLD” and “LOCK” be
fore transporting.
When transporting the unit, make sure to
set to “HOLD” to avoid accidental play
start and lock the disc holder to avoid
accidental opening.
■ Be careful of the volume level.
Compared to ordinary analog records, the
music recorded on compact discs includes
very little noise. Before listening always
turn down the volume control. (Especially
when it is connected to other audio sys
tems, and extremely high output will be
emitted from the amplifier, and might dam
age the speakers.)

Power Source
This unit may be used with the included rechargeable batteries, the optional two LR6 type
alkaline batteries, the included AC Adaptor or the optional Car Adaptor (SH-CDC9, 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 re
chargeable batteries. Normally 1 hour re
charging will give approximately 1.5 hours
and 3 hours recharging will give approxi
mately 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.
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 re
charged about 300 times. Over 300 times,
its operation time will become shortened.
That’s time for replacing the rechargeable
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.
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 ap
proximately 1.5 hours can be operated.
The indicator will turn off, when the charg
ing is finished.
