teries to become warm during recharging.
≥ 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 AC
outlet, ensure you disconnect the AC adaptor from the
unit’s [DC IN 4.5 V
K ] terminal.
Battery indicator
This indicator flashes when the batteries are almost fully
discharged. Replace with fresh dry cell batteries or

and when the power is cut off depends on the type of
batteries you are using.
≥ This indicator may not function correctly if you use bat-
teries other than the specified rechargeable batteries.
Using the car adaptor
(not included)
Be sure to obtain the car adaptor (SH-CDC9) available
