players, always refer to the manual that was included with your model.
Most CD players are too large to fit inside the internal
compartment. To use these devices, open the compart­ment door to access the auxiliary connector, and connect the device as described above. Turn on the CD player and adjust the volume to the desired level.
CHARGING
See Figure 6, page 17.
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge them before first use. If the charger does not charge your battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to your nearest repair center for electrical check.
Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120 volts, AC only, 60 Hz.
Connect the radio/charger to a power supply. Attach the battery pack to the charger by aligning the
raised ribs on the battery pack with the grooves in the charger, then slide the battery pack onto the charger.
Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on
the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the charger.
Latches should snap into place to ensure charger is cor-
rectly connected.

OPERATION
Do not place the charger in an area of extreme heat or
cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be placed in
a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 96°F.
The battery pack may become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
After charging is complete, the green LED will remain on
until the battery pack is removed from the radio/charger or charger is disconnected from the power supply.
NOTE: Always remove the battery pack from the radio/
charger before unplugging the unit from a power source, or before plugging the unit into a power source.
To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress
latches and pull up on the battery pack.
When the battery pack is fully charged, remove it from
the charger.
