Special rechargeable

batteries

Ordinary dry cell

batteries/rechargeable

batteries

Cautions

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 , and . polarities properly when inserting the bat-

teries.

· 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.
