battery recycling

care and maintenance

• When the low battery icon appears, replace the
batteries.

• Remove battery insulation strip before
installing the battery.

• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

• Do not burn or bury batteries.

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type.

• Do not mix batteries of different sizes or
chemistries.

• If you do not plan to use your CD player for a
week or more, remove the batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can damage electronic

parts.

rechargeable battery notes

• Before you use your CD player with Ni-Cd
batteries, you need to charge them, either in an
external battery charger (not supplied, available
at your local RadioShack store) or in the CD
player (see “Recharging Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries”) with an adapter.

• The CD player senses whether or not the
batteries you install are rechargeable and turns
on the charging circuit or disconnects the
batteries accordingly.

• If you connect an AC or DC adapter to the CD
player, you can charge batteries inside the CD
player’s battery compartment. Here is how.

 Connect an AC or DC adapter to your CD player.

 Place two Ni-Cd batteries in the compartment

and on top of the attached ribbon, as indicated
by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked
outside the compartment. The CD player starts
to charge the batteries. Initial and subsequent
charging takes about 12 hours.

 When the batteries are fully charged,

disconnect the AC or DC adapter.

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use earphones or
headphones.

• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.

• Do not listen at extremely high volume
levels. Extended high-volume listening can
lead to permanent hearing loss.

• Once you set the volume, do not increase
it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume
level, so a volume level that does not cause
discomfort might still damage your hearing.

traffic safety

Do not wear earphones or headphones while
operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and could be
illegal in some areas.

Even though some earphones or
headphones let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume
levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.

The EPA certified RBRC(r) Battery Recycling Seal on the
nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery indicates RadioShack is
voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect
and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful life,
when taken out of service in the United States or Canada.
The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to
placing used Ni-Cd batteries into the trash or the municipal
waste stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please
call 1-800-THE-SHACK (1-800-843-7422) for information on
Ni-Cd battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in
your area. RadioShack’s involvement
in this program is part of the
company’s commitment to preserving
our environment and conserving our
natural resources.

Why does my CD player skip when I turn off anti-shock?

As your CD player eliminates the stored memory and returns to playing sound in real time, the sound
will cut out for about 2 seconds. This is normal.

Why is my CD player not working?

Make sure the HOLD switch is OFF. Then, check your batteries or adapter to ensure a correct
connection.

I have a CD loaded, but my player won’t start.

Make sure you have inserted the disk with the label side up. Next, remove and reseat the CD on the hub.
Finally, clean your CD.

Why is the sound dropping out? It keeps skipping.

Several things could be causing your problem. First, clean your CD. If the problem continues, insert
and play another CD. If the problem still continues, turn on anti-shock by pressing the DAS button. You
could also have moisture on the lens. Let your player stay at room temperature for about an hour to
allow time for moisture to evaporate. If you still experience skipping, take your player to your nearest
RadioShack store.

Last night I programmed how I wanted my CD to play, but today the program is gone. What happened?

Your CD player does not have enough memory to store programming when it powers down.

My CD sounds distorted and weak. What do I need to do?

Check the battery icon on the display. If it shows a low power condition, replace your batteries.

Keep your boombox dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Use and store your boombox only in normal temperature
environments. Handle your boombox carefully; do not drop it.
Keep

your boombox away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a

damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

care of CDs

• Do not write on either side of the CD, particularly the non-label
side (signals are read from the non-label side).

• Do not store CDs in high temperature or high humidity areas. They
might warp.

• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can act as a lens and disrupt the laser
beam's focus.

• Always handle a CD by the edges to avoid fingerprints and
always keep it in its protective case or sleeve when it is not in use.
Fingerprints and scratches on the CD’s surface can prevent the
laser beam from correctly reading the digital information. If the CD
gets scratched, use RadioShack’s CD repair kit to repair the disc.

• Never use chemicals such as record cleaning sprays, anti-static
sprays or fluids, benzene, or thinner to clean your CDs. These
chemicals will permanently damage the plastic surface of your CD.

• If a CD skips when you try to play it, the CD might be scratched.
Your local RadioShack store sells a CD repair kit that might stop
the skip.

WARNING! Class 1 Laser. This device
uses a laser light beam. Only a qualified
service person should remove the cover
or attempt to service this device, due to
possible eye injury.

This phone is Hearing Aid compatible. Your phone complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules and the requirements adopted
by the ACTA. On the bottom of this product is a label with this product’s FCC Product Identification number in the
format US:AAOMT09B433816. If requested, you must provide this information to the telephone company.
Your phone is not intended to be used with party-line systems. Connection to party line service is subject to state tar
iffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for information.
We have designed your phone to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines.
However, each phone (and each device, such as a telephone or answering machine) that you connect to the
telephone line draws power from the telephone line. We refer to this power draw as the device’s ringer equivalence
number, or REN on the bottom of your phone.
If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all of the RENs. If the total is more than five (three
in rural areas), your telephones might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.
In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can temporarily
discontinue your service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance. If advance notice
is not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possible and advises you of your right to file a complaint
with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of this phone. The telephone company notifies you of these changes in advance, so you can take the neces
sary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your phone. Changes or modifications
not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate the equip
ment.

This product is warranted by RadioShack against manufacturing defects in material
and workmanship under normal use for 1 (one) year from the date of purchase from
RadioShack company-owned stores and authorized RadioShack franchisees and dealers.
For complete warranty details and exclusions, check with your local RadioShack store.
