Using the rechargeable Ni-MH battery (included)
1
Remove the rechargeable battery from its case.
2
Insert the rechargeable battery into the charger/adaptor.
3
Set the switch on the charger/adaptor to “CHARGER”.
4
Connect the AC adaptor to the charger/adaptor.
5
The charge indicator will initially light in red. It will go out when re-
charging is completed. When recharging is complete, unplug the
AC adaptor from the AC outlet and the charger/adaptor.
6
Remove the recharged battery from the charger/adaptor and insert
it into the minidisc player.
Notes:
• You cannot use the minidisc player while charging the rechargeable battery.
• It takes approximately 2 hours to recharge the rechargeable battery.
• The rechargeable battery has a service life of approximately 300 charge-discharge cycles. If
the operating time on one full charge becomes noticeably shorter than it used to be, the bat-
tery has reached the end of its service life and should be replaced.
• The AC adaptor and rechargeable battery may become warm while recharging. This is not a
malfunction.
• When recharging the rechargeable battery which was left unused for a long time, the charge
indicator may not light immediately. It will light in a few minutes.
Refer to the specifications for information on operating time durations when using a recharge-
able battery, dry-cell battery, a or both together.
Using the AC adaptor
CAUTION: Be sure there is no rechargeable battery in the minidisc
player.
1
Attach the battery case to the minidisc player.
Turn the knob on the battery case toward
“LOCK” until it stops. (To detach the bat-
tery case, turn the knob toward “RE-
LEASE” until the battery case comes
loose.)
2
Set the switch on the charger/adaptor to “ADAPTOR”.
3
Connect the AC adaptor to the charger/adaptor, and the charger/
adaptor to the battery case.
Notes:
• The minidisc player is in standby mode when the AC adaptor and charger/adaptor are connected.
• The primary circuit is “live” as long as the AC adaptor is connected to an electrical outlet.
Cautions
Batteries
• Before replacing batteries, always turn the minidisc player off. Otherwise, the settings you
have made will be changed.
Rechargeable Ni - MH battery :
• Use only the rechargeable battery BN-R1210 (supplied) or BN-R127 (not supplied) with this
minidisc player.
• If the power delivered by the battery lasts for a very short time after recharging, it means
that the battery’s service life is over. Do not use it any more.
• Recharging an already charged battery will shorten its service life.
• When recharging a battery for the first time, or when it has not been used for a long period
of time, the play time may be shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and
discharge the battery. This will restore it to its regular state.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of the rechargeable battery because
this may cause dangerous short-circuiting.
• Recharge the battery at a temperature of 10°C to 35°C.
• Do not charge for more than 15 hours. Overcharging will shorten battery life.
• Charge at least once every 6 months when not using for long periods of time, to avoid a drop
in battery recharging performance
Dry cell battery and rechargeable battery:
To prevent damage to the batteries, and to avoid electrolyte leakage, heed the following instructions.
• Align the
ª
and
·
polarities properly when inserting the batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the minidisc player for a long period of time.
• Do not expose the batteries to open flame, and do not short-circuit, disassemble, or subject
them to excessive heat.
• Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
Carrying batteries:
• When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal
objects, such as necklaces or coins, are placed together with them. Contact with metal may
cause short-circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.
• Be absolutely sure to carry the rechargeable battery in the battery carrying case.
Recycling Notice
The rechargeable battery is designated recyclable.
Please follow your local recycling regulations.
AC adaptor and charger/adaptor
• Handle the AC adaptor and charger/adaptor carefully. Improper handling is dangerous.
• Do not touch them with wet hands.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of them.
• Do not forcibly bend them.
• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor and charger/adaptor provided with this minidisc player.
• Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power outlet if the unit is not going to be used for a
long time.
