into the DC socket (17) located on the rear of the CD965.

Operation using rechargeable batteries (included)

Open the battery compartment and insert the rechargeable Ni-Cad
batteries into the compartment, taking care to observe correct polarities
as shown.

The rechargeable batteries should be charged for 15 hours before they

period.

The AC adaptor included with the CD965 will fully recharge the batteries
in 15 hours. Plug the adaptor into a 13A mains outlet. Plug the lead from
the adaptor into the DC socket (17) located on the rear of the CD965.
During charging the Recharge indicator (6) will light up.

The mains adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and
from the DC socket (17) after charging.

DO NOT CHARGE CONTINUOUSLY FOR MORE THAN 24 HOURS.
DOING SO CAN CAUSE THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES TO
DETERIORATE.

Should the operating time after a full charge decrease drastically,
purchase a new set of rechargeable batteries. Be sure to use the correct
type of rechargeable battery N620AA (620mAh) or equivalent.

Operation using non-rechargeable batteries (not
included)

Open the battery compartment and insert 2 x LR6 (AA ) or equivalent size

outlet and from the DC socket (17).

Note: Correct type of

rechargeable battery has
plastic sleeve cut back 3mm
to allow charging terminal to
make contact with battery.

Standard rechargeable
batteries will not be recharged
when used with CD965.

Rechargeable batteries
suitable for use with CD965
are available from the address
shown on the rear of this

Product Care

Do not expose the CD965 to extremes of temperature. The product
should be kept in a warm environment free from dust and damp. For
external cleaning use only a soft, clean cloth. Use a damp cloth to clean
the plastic cabinet. A mild soap will help to remove grease or oil. Never
use strong detergents or spray cleaners, abrasive powders, thinners or
solvents on the machine, as these may cause damage the finish.

CD Player Maintenance

The player mechanism is fitted with self-lubricating bearings, and must
not be oiled or greased.

Cleaning compact discs

While CDs do not ‘scratch’ the way vinyl records do, they are not
indestructible. Although the music tracks on the disc are covered with a
protective layer, it is still advisable to treat the disc carefully. As long as
you always pick up discs by the edge, and put them back in their holders
immediately after use, cleaning will not normally be necessary. However,
should fingerprints, dust or dirt appear, you can wipe them off with a soft,
lint-free cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line from centre to edge. If the
disc is heavily soiled use a commercially available CD cleaner. Detergent
or abrasive cleaning agents must never be used. Never write on the disc
label – this can cause irreparable damage to the disc.
