Cautions

Special rechargeable

batteries

Ordinary dry cell

batteries/rechargeable

batteries

Rechargeable batteries

· Only the BN-R1211 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

discharge the batteries. This will restore them to their regular

state.

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

chargeable 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 batter-

ies.

· Do not mix different types or makes 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:

BN-R1211 (set of 2)

For details, check with your dealer.

Notice about the rechargeable battery

The battery is designated recyclable.

Please follow your local recycling regulations.

When purchasing AC plug adaptor

(for multi voltage area)

Be absolutely sure to purchase the AC plug adaptor designed es-

pecially for this unit.

AC plug adaptor: QAM0060-001

For details, check with your dealer.

Unit

No altering or remodeling

This can cause malfunctioning.

No dropping or strong impacts

cause malfunctioning.

1. Bathrooms and other moisture-prone places.

2. Warehouses and other dusty places

3. Very hot places near heating appliances, etc.

Do not leave the unit exposed to direct sunlight for

long periods of time

This may deform or discolor the cabinet and may also cause mal-

functioning.

Listening Precautions

· Do not play your headphones at a high volume. Hearing experts

advise against continuous extended play.

· If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or dis-

continue 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 is an open-air type designed to let you

hear outside sounds, don't turn up the volume so high that you

can't hear what's around you.

AC adaptor

· Handle the AC adaptor carefully. Improper handling is dangerous.

· Do not touch it with wet hands.

· Do not place heavy objects on top of it.

· Do not forcibly bend it.

· Be sure to connect only the AC adaptor provided (for the U.K.

only) with the unit.

· Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power outlet if the unit is

not going to be used for a long time.

When purchasing AC adaptor

Note:

When you want to purchase the AC adaptor and the AC plug

adaptor, see page 2.

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.
