Charging time	CD playing
Max. 2 hours*	Approx. 2 hours

(When the unit is used on a flat and stable place.)

* The charging time varies depending on how the rechargeable battery is used

When to replace the rechargeable battery

If the operating time reduces approximately by half even if you charge it fully, replace it with a new BP-DM10 (not supplied). You cannot use BP-DM1 battery pack.

Notes on the rechargeable battery (Ni-Cd battery)

• Be sure to use the supplied AC power adaptor.
• Remember to recharge the battery after every use. Leaving the rechargeable battery discharged may shorten its life.
• When charging the battery for the first time or after being unused for a long time, playing time may reduce. In this case, charge and discharge it several times.
• Store the battery in a temperature between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F) to make it work at its best.
  • Never throw the battery into fire.
• Never short-circuit the battery terminal.
• Do not disassemble the battery. If the electrolyte inside the battery should come into contact with cloth or skin, wash the contaminated objects with water immediately.

On Indication

The ☐ indication appears in the display window to show that the battery is used up when the unit operates with either the rechargeable battery or the alkaline batteries. The indicator flashes when the battery becomes weak and the operation automatically stops. Then, the indicator stays ill. In this case, charge the rechargeable battery or replace all the alkaline batteries with new ones.

Using with Alkaline Batteries

Insert two size.AA (LR6) alkaline batteries according to the and indications in the battery compartment.

When you do not want to hear beeps

Disconnect the power sources. While keeping ■ pressed, connect the power sources (rechargeable battery, alkaline batteries or external power source). The beep sound setting remains as long as the power source is connected.

To make the display window not to be illuminated

You can make the display window not to be illuminated when using the unit on the rechargeable battery or alkaline batteries.

1 Disconnect the power sources (external power source, rechargeable battery, alkaline batteries).

2 While keeping PLAY MODE pressed, insert the rechargeable battery or alkaline batteries.

The illumination setting remains as long as the rechargeable battery or alkaline batteries are not removed.

Precautions

On safety

• As the laser beam used in this compact disc player is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
• Do not put any foreign objects in the safety slot inside the disc compartment. If you do so, the laser beam may come out when the lid is opened.
• Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 4.5 V (external power input) jack.
• Should any solid objects or liquid fall into the unit, disconnect the power supply and have the unit checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

• Use the rechargeable battery (supplied), alkaline batteries (not supplied), house current or a car battery.
• For AC operation: Use the AC power adaptor supplied with this unit. Do not use any other AC power adaptor as it may cause malfunction.
• For car battery operation: Use the car mount arm CPM-300PK (not supplied) or mount plate CPM-300P (not supplied) and car connecting pack CPA-3/CPA-4 (not supplied).
• If the unit is not going to be used for a long period of time, be sure to disconnect the power supply (AC power adaptor, rechargeable battery, alkaline batteries, or mount plate) from the unit. To remove the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet, grasp the adaptor itself; never pull it by the cord.
• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the bottom exterior. (AC power adaptor for Middle East only.)

On operation

• Since the CD system offers a wide dynamic range, the peaks of the high level inputs are recorded with high fidelity, and the noise level is very low. Do not turn up the volume while listening to a part of disc with no audio signals or very low level inputs. If you do so, the speakers may be damaged when the peak level of the sound is played.
  • The lens on the disc table should be kept clean. Do not touch the lens or poke at it. If you do so, the lens may be damaged and the unit will not operate properly.

On installation

• Never install the unit where it would be subject to:
• heat sources such as radiators or airducts.
• direct sunlight.
• excessive dust.
• moisture or rain.
• mechanical vibration or shock.

• unleveled surface.

• Do not put the unit on a dashboard nor leave it in a car parked in sunlight since the temperature may rise excessively.

• When the unit is used with the AC power adaptor, do not wrap the unit in a cloth, blanket, etc. If you do so, the temperature inside and outside the unit may rise considerably, resulting in malfunctioning of the unit or serious accidents.
• Do not put any heavy object on top of the unit. The unit and disc may be damaged.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not operate. In this case, remove the disc and leave the unit in a warm place for several hours until the moisture evaporates.
• For the unit to operate at its best, it should not be subjected to temperatures below 5^ (41°F) or above 35^ (95°F).

Notes on headphones

- Road safety

Do not use headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your headsets at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

• Preventing hearing damage

Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

• Caring for others

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.
