• Under normal usage condi-

tions, the nickel-cadmium bat-
tery pack can be recharged
about 500 times.

• Fully discharge the battery pack

occasionally by playing the CD
player until it no longer plays.
Then fully recharge the battery
pack. This helps restore the bat-
tery pack’s full charging capac-
ity.

• Avoid charging the battery pack

in a hot environment (more than
113°F) as this can permanently
reduce the battery pack’s charg-
ing capacity.

• Do not overcharge the battery

pack. Overcharging can severe-
ly reduce a battery pack’s useful
life.

• Do not short-circuit the battery

pack’s terminals (+ and –).

Important: This portable CD player
is capable of using a rechargeable
nickel-cadmium battery pack. At the
end of its useful life, the battery pack

must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Contact your local, county,
or state hazardous waste manage-
ment authorities for information on
recycling or disposal programs in
your area. Some options that might
be available are: municipal curb-side
collection, drop-off boxes at retail-
ers, recycling collection centers, and
mail-back programs.

You can power your CD player from
your vehicle’s battery using the sup-
plied DC adapter.

• If you park your vehicle in the

sun, temperatures inside can
easily reach levels that could
damage your CD player and
your CDs. To prevent heat dam-
age, avoid leaving your CD
player or CDs in your vehicle.
