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
This may damage the unit.
Locations to be avoided
Avoid using the unit in the following locations since they can
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.

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.
