Power Supply Preparations
Using rechargeable batteries
Be sure to recharge the rechargeable batteries BN-R1211 before us-
ing them.
For information about these, see “When purchasing rechargeable
batteries” on page 2.
Recharging procedure
1
Insert the special rechargeable batteries
into the unit.
Caution:
Do not open the battery lid too wide. It can break if you forcibly
open it beyond approximately 90°.
2
Connect the AC adaptor.
Recharging will be completed after 10 hours.
3
When recharging is complete, unplug the
AC adaptor from the AC power outlet and
the DC IN jack.
Using dry-cell batteries (not included)
After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two “R6” (LR6) alka-
line batteries.
The procedure for inserting and removing dry-cell batteries is
identical to that rechargeable batteries.
Using external battery case
Open the battery cover of the external battery case (supplied) and
insert two “R6” (LR6) alkaline batteries (not included) into the
battery compartment. Then, install the external battery case in the
unit by turning the knob of the battery case.

Battery indicator
This indicator lights when the batteries are almost out of power.
Power is shut off a short while later.
Rechargeable batteries: Recharge batteries.
Dry-cell batteries: Replace batteries with new ones.
Notes:
• The length of time the unit can continue further operation after the bat-
tery indicator lights differs depending on the type of batteries used.
• The battery indicator may not light if rechargeable batteries, other
than those designated by JVC, are used.
Tip:
Turning off the Anti-Shock Protection (see page 6) will save the
battery power more or less. (Available for an Audio CD only)
If the unit malfunctions or freezes during use, discon-
nect the AC adaptor and batteries. Then, connect the
AC adaptor and batteries, and operate the unit again.
Notes:
• To operate the unit on batteries, the AC adaptor must be dis-
connected from the DC IN jack.
• It takes approximately 10 hours to recharge the rechargeable
batteries.
• Rechargeable batteries have 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 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 become warm
while recharging is in progress. This is normal and is not a
malfunction.
• You cannot charge the rechargeable batteries using the external
battery case.
If the battery lid

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.

Using the AC adaptor
Connect the AC adaptor supplied.
