lifetime. We therefore recommend that you let the rechargeable ECO-PLUS
NiMH battery run till it is completely empty before you recharge it.

• To avoid a short circuit, do not let the battery touch any metal object.

• If the battery becomes empty soon after recharging, then either its contacts 

are dirty or it has reached the end of its lifetime.

You can use the following batteries with this CD-player:
• normal batteries type LR6, UM3 or AA (preferably Philips), or
• alkaline batteries type LR6, UM3 or AA (preferably Philips).
