Concerning Compact Discs

Precautions

Before using this unit, be sure to read the applicable items of the

operating instructions and these safety-suggestions carefully.

Afterwards keep them handy for future reference. Take special

care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit itself as well as

in the operating instructions.

Safety

1. Care of AC adaptor

2. Disconnect when not in use

- When not in use, be sure to

disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet.

3. Batteries

- If the set is not used for a long period of time or is

used only from an AC power source, remove all the batteries to

prevent potential damage due to battery leakage. Do not mix

(old and new ) batteries or different types of batteries.

Installation

I Environment

Listening precautions

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume.

Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.

If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a

traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use

in potentially hazardous situations.

Even if your headphones or earphones are an open-air type de-

signed to let you hear outside sounds, don't turn up the volume

so high that you can't hear what's around you.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level"

adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can

actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BE-

FORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

· Start your volume control at a low setting.

· Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and

clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

· Set the dial and leave it there.

Rechargeable batteries

· Only the BN-R1211J battery can be recharged.

· If the power delivered by the batteries lasts for a very short

time after recharging, it means that the batteries' service life is

over. Do not use them any more.

· Recharging already charged batteries will shorten their service life.

· When recharging batteries for the first time or when they have

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 dis-

charge the batteries. This will restore them to their regular state.

· Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of rechargeable

batteries since this may cause short-circuiting which is dangerous.

· Do not peel off the plastic covering on the rechargeable batter-

ies. Short-circuiting may occur which is dangerous.

Dry cell batteries / rechargeable batteries

To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed

the following points.

· Align the

ª and · polarities properly when inserting the bat-

teries.

· Do not mix different types or makers of batteries or old and

new batteries.

· Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a

long period of time.

· Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, dis-

assemble or subject them to excessive heat.

· Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.

Carrying dry cell batteries /

rechargeable batteries around

When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or

bag, ensure that no other metal objects such as a necklace are

placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-

circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.

When purchasing rechargeable batteries

As a safety precaution, the portable CD players made by JVC

have a construction designed to make it impossible to recharge

ordinary batteries.

To use rechargeable batteries, be absolutely sure to purchase the

rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries designed especially for this unit.

Special rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries:

Power Supply Preparations

Using rechargeable batteries

(supplied)

Be sure to recharge the rechargeable batteries before using them.

Recharging procedure

1 Insert the rechargeable batteries.

* Insert the battery as you push it in the indicated direction.

Caution:

Do not forcibly open the battery lid too wide.

2 Connect the AC adaptor (supplied).

Recharging will be completed after 10 hours.

AC adaptor

Using the AC adaptor (supplied)

Connect the AC adaptor.

Refer to "Using rechargeable batteries" for connection instructions.

Note:

Even if the unit is turned off, small power is consumed as long as

the AC adaptor is connected to the AC power outlet.

Using dry-cell batteries (not supplied)

After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two "AA" (LR6) alka-

line batteries.

The procedure for inserting and removing dry-cell batteries is

identical to that rechargeable batteries.

Battery indicator

This indicator lights when the batteries are almost out of power.

Power will be shut off a short while later.

Note:

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,

disconnect the AC adaptor and batteries. Then,

connect the AC adaptor and batteries, and oper-

ate the unit again.

3 When recharging is complete, unplug the

AC adaptor from the AC power outlet and

the DC IN jack.

Notes:

· 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.

· You can recharge the batteries only when the unit is turned off.

· The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may become warm

while recharging is in progress. This is normal and is not a

malfunction.
