When recharging is complete, unplug the
AC adaptor from the power outlet and the
DC IN jack.
Notes:
• To operate the unit on batteries, the AC adaptor must
be disconnected from the DC IN jack.
• It takes approximately 10 hours to recharge the re-
chargeable batteries.
• Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approxi-
mately 300 charge-discharge cycles. If the operating time
on one full charge becomes noticeably shorter than it used
to be, the batteries have reached the end of their service
life and should be replaced.
•
Recharging takes place only when the unit is powered
off. (It is not possible to recharge the batteries while
playing a CD.)
• The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may be-
come warm while recharging is in progress. This is
normal and is not a malfunction.
If the battery lid compartment comes loose
Slide the lid back into place horizontally.
Removing batteries
Push up on the battery in the direction indicated by the
arrow. Then lift it out.
