Panasonic SL-SX240 - Manual (Page 2)

Using the AC adaptor
Connect the AC adaptor supplied.
Note 1
≥ The configuration of the AC adaptor differs according
to the area.
≥ The unit is in the standby condition when the AC
adaptor is connected. The primary circuit is always
“live” as long as the AC adaptor is connected to an
electrical outlet.
≥ Turn the unit off before connecting or disconnecting
the AC adaptor.
Using rechargeable batteries
(not included)
Obtain the optional rechargeable batteries.
Optional batteries
For United Kingdom: P-3GAVE/2B
For others: P-3GAVT/2B
Be sure to recharge the batteries before using them.
The unit cannot be used to charge rechargeable batter-
ies other than those specifically designed for it.
Recharging procedure
1
Insert the special rechargeable batteries
into the unit.
2
Connect the AC adaptor.
(Refer to “Using the AC adaptor” for connection in-
structions.)
Recharging starts and the “
H ” charging indicator
flashes on the unit’s display.
When the rechargeable batteries are fully recharged
the charging indicator disappears.
3
When recharging is complete, unplug the
AC adaptor from the household mains
socket and the DC IN jack.
Note 1
≥ Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approxi-
mately 300 charge-discharge cycles. The batteries
have reached the end of their operational life if they
last for a noticeably shorter time after recharging, or if
they cannot be recharged at all. Replace the batteries.
≥ Recharging may only be performed when the unit is
powered off.
≥ The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may be-
come warm while recharging is in progress. This is not
a malfunction.
≥ Leaving the AC adaptor connected can cause the bat-
teries to go flat. After recharging the batteries and dis-
connecting the AC adaptor from the household mains
socket, ensure you disconnect the adaptor from the
unit’s [DC IN 4.5V
K ] terminal.
Using the dry cell batteries
(not included)
After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two LR6
(UM-3) alkaline batteries.
The procedure for inserting and removing dry cell
batteries is identical to that for rechargeable bat-
teries.
Note !
Turn the unit off before replacing the dry cell batteries.
Battery indicator
This indicator flashes when the batteries are almost out
of power. Power is cut off completely a short while later.
Rechargeable batteries: Recharge batteries.
Dry cell batteries: Replace batteries with new ones.
Note 1
≥ The length of time the unit will continue to operate be-
tween when the battery indicator starts flashing and
when the power is cut off differs depending on the
type of batteries used.
≥ The battery indicator may not flash if rechargeable
batteries other than those designated by Panasonic
are used.
Using the car adaptor (not included)
Be sure to obtain the car adaptor (SH-CDC9), available
as an optional accessory.
The car adaptor can be used to recharge the unit’s bat-
teries while in the car.
