POWERING THE CD PLAYER
You can power your CD player from
any of these sources:
• Two AA alkaline batteries (not
supplied)
• Two rechargeable AA nickel-
cadmium batteries (not supplied)
• Vehicle battery power using the
supplied DC adapter
• Standard AC power using an AC
adapter (not supplied)
Note: Connecting an AC or DC adapt-
er to the CD player with non-recharge-
able batteries installed disconnects
the batteries.
USING BATTERIES
You can power your CD player from
two AA alkaline batteries (such as Ra-
dioShack Cat. No. 23-552) or two re-
chargeable AA nickel-cadmium bat-
teries (such as Cat. No. 23-125).
Cautions:
• Always use fresh, or freshly
charged, batteries of the required
size and type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable
nickel-cadmium), or recharge-
able batteries of different capaci-
ties.
Follow these steps to install the batter-
ies.
1. Press down on the battery com-
partment cover and slide it in the
direction of the arrow on the
cover, then lift the cover.
Caution: The battery compart-
ment cover is attached to the CD
player. Do not try to remove it.
2. Put two AA alkaline batteries or
two AA nickel-cadmium batteries
in the battery compartment, as
indicated by the polarity symbols
(+ and –) marked inside.
Note: Before you use the CD
player with nickel-cadmium batter-
ies, you need to charge them,
either in an external battery
charger (such as Cat. No. 23-134)
or in the CD player (see “Recharg-
ing Nickel-Cadmium Batteries” on
Page 7).
3. Close the battery compartment
cover.
If flashes on the display, the
sound distorts, or the volume weak-
ens, replace or recharge the batteries.
