∫ Care
To prevent battery damage, electrolyte leakage and
short-circuiting, heed the following points.
≥ Do not peel off the covering on batteries and do not
use if the covering has been peeled off.
≥ Align the poles + and - correctly when inserting the
batteries.
≥ Do not mix different types or makes of batteries or old
and new batteries.
≥ Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the
unit for a long time.
≥ Do not throw into fire, short-circuit, disassemble, or
subject to excessive heat.
≥ Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
≥ Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery termi-
nals as this may cause short-circuiting which is dan-
gerous.
≥ When carrying batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure no
metal objects such as necklaces are placed together
with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuit-
ing which can cause a fire.
AC adaptor
≥ Handle the AC adaptor carefully. Improper handling is
dangerous.
≥ Do not touch it with wet hands.
≥ Do not place heavy objects on top of it.
≥ Do not forcibly bend it.
≥ Be sure to connect only the AC adaptor provided with
the unit.
≥ Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power outlet if the
unit is not going to be used for a long time.
Cautions
Selection and care of
rechargeable /dry cell batteries
∫ Selection
As a safety precaution, the portable CD players made
by Panasonic are constructed so it is impossible to
recharge ordinary batteries.
Only batteries especially designed for this unit can be
recharged.
Special rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries:
For United Kingdom
P-3GAVE/2B (set of 2)
For others
P-3GAVT/2B (set of 2)
For details, check with your dealer.
≥ If rechargeable battery play time is short after recharg-
ing, the batteries have reached the end of their service
life. Replace them with the recommended replace-
ments.
≥ Play time may be shorter than usual after recharging
batteries for the first time or after they have been un-
used for a long time. Repeatedly recharge and dis-
charge the batteries if this occurs to restore them to
normal.
