Charging Nickel-Cadmium
Batteries
Nickel-cadmium batteries come fully
discharged. You can charge the batter-
ies while they are in the battery com-
partment using the supplied battery
adapter and an optional AC adapter
(such as Cat. No. 273-1663, not sup-
plied), or you can use an optional ex-
ternal battery charger (such as Cat.
No. 23-133, not supplied).
Warning: Do not try to charge non-
rechargeable batteries. They might
get very hot and possibly explode.
Follow these steps to recharge nickel-
cadmium batteries in the battery com-
partment.
1. Put two rechargeable batteries
into the supplied battery adapter
according to the polarity symbols
(+ and –) on the adapter.
2. Insert the battery adapter into the
battery compartment according to
the polarity symbols (+ and –)
inside the compartment.
3. Plug the AC adapter’s barrel plug
into the CD player’s DC 6V jack.
Then plug the other end of the
adapter into a standard AC outlet.
Note: With the CD player turned
off, it takes about 15 hours to
charge fully discharged nickel-
cadmium batteries.
4. When the batteries are fully
charged, unplug the AC adapter
from the AC outlet.
