Important: Your CD player is capable
of using nickel-cadmium batteries. At
the end of the batteries’ useful life,
they must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Contact your local, county,
or state hazardous waste manage-
ment authorities for information on re-
cycling or disposal programs in your
area. Some options that might be
available are: municipal curbside col-
lection, drop-off boxes at retailers
such as your local RadioShack store,
recycling collection centers, and mail-
back programs.
USING VEHICLE
BATTERY POWER
You can power your CD player from
your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket
with the supplied DC adapter.
Cautions:

6 volts and delivers at least 500

player, always unplug the DC
adapter from the cigarette-lighter

jack.
2. Make sure the DC adapter’s tip is
securely attached, then plug the
DC adapter’s other end into your
vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.
Note: If the CD player does not
operate when you use the DC
adapter, unplug the cord from the
cigarette-lighter socket and clean
any ashes or debris from the
socket.
