Power Supply Preparations
Refer to the specifications (page 8) for information on operating times when using rechargeable batteries or dry-cell batteries.
Using the AC adaptor
Connect the AC adaptor supplied.
Using rechargeable batteries
Make sure to recharge the batteries before using them.
The unit cannot be used to charge rechargeable batter-
ies other than those specially designed for it.
≥
Supplied batteries (RP-BP60)
≥
Optional batteries (P-3GAVA/2B, SH-CDB8D)
Recharging procedure
1
Insert the special rechargeable bat-
teries into the unit.
2
Connect the AC adaptor.
(Refer to “Using the AC adaptor” for connection
instructions.)
Recharging starts and the “
H
” charging indicator
flashes on and off on the unit’s display panel.
When the rechargeable batteries fully recharge the
charging indicator disappears.
3
When recharging is complete, un-
plug the AC adaptor from the power
outlet and the DC IN jack.
Note
!
≥
It takes approximately 3 hours to fully recharge the
supplied rechargeable 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 battery has reached the end of
its service life and should be replaced.
≥
Recharging may only be performed when the unit is
powered off. (It is not possible to recharge the batter-
ies while playing a CD.)
≥
The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may be-
come warm while recharging is in progress. This is not
a malfunction.
Using the car adaptor
Be sure to obtain the car adaptor (SH-CDC9) available
as an optional accessory.
The car adaptor can be used to recharge the unit’s bat-
teries while in the car.
Using dry-cell batteries
(not included)
After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two “AA”
(LR6) alkaline batteries.
The procedure for inserting and removing dry-cell
batteries is identical to that for rechargeable bat-
teries.
Battery indicator
This indicator flashes on and off when the batteries are
almost out of power. Power is cut off completely a short
while later.
Rechargeable batteries: Recharge batteries.
Dry-cell batteries: Replace batteries with new ones.
Note
!
≥
The length of time the unit will continue to operate be-
tween when the battery indicator starts flashing and
when the power is cut off differs depending on the
type of batteries used.
≥
The battery indicator may not flash if rechargeable
batteries, other than those designated by Panasonic,
are used.
Removing batteries
Push up on the battery
in the direction indicat-
ed by the arrow. Then
lift it out.
If the battery lid
comes loose
Slide the lid back into
place horizontally.
HOLD Function
This function causes the unit to ignore
short, accidental button presses. (The
disc lid can still be opened and closed.)
The HOLD function prevents the
following:
≥
Powering on the unit accidentally
(which can cause the batteries to go
dead).
≥
Play being cut off unexpectedly in the
middle of a selection.
To use the HOLD function
Set [HOLD] to the HOLD position.
“
(

When the unit is in hold status, pressing
any button (other than the OPEN button)
causes the indication “
(
” to appear
on the display.
When the unit is powered off
The “
(
” indication appears only
when [
