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 dis-
charge 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 batteries.
· 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.
Be absolutely sure to carry the rechargeable batteries in the bat-
tery carrying case.
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.

Caution:
Do not open the battery lid too wide. It can break if you forcibly
open it beyond approximately 90°.
2 Connect the AC adaptor.
Recharging will be completed after 10 hours.
3 When recharging is complete, unplug the
AC adaptor from the AC power outlet and
the DC IN jack.
Using dry-cell batteries (not included)
After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two "R6" (LR6) alka-
line batteries.
The procedure for inserting and removing dry-cell batteries is
identical to that rechargeable batteries.
Using external battery case

insert two "R6" (LR6) alkaline batteries (not included) into the
battery compartment. Then, install the external battery case in the
unit by turning the knob of the battery case.
Right side panel of the unit
AC adaptor
Battery indicator
This indicator lights when the batteries are almost out of power.
Power is shut off a short while later.
Rechargeable batteries: Recharge batteries.
Dry-cell batteries: Replace batteries with new ones.
Notes:
· The length of time the unit can continue further operation after the bat-
tery indicator lights differs depending on the type of batteries used.
· The battery indicator may not light if rechargeable batteries, other
than those designated by JVC, are used.
Tip:
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, discon-
nect the AC adaptor and batteries. Then, connect the
AC adaptor and batteries, and operate the unit again.
Notes:
· To operate the unit on batteries, the AC adaptor must be dis-
connected from the DC IN jack.
· It takes approximately 10 hours to recharge the rechargeable
batteries.
· 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.
· Recharging takes place only when the unit is powered off. (It is
not possible to recharge the batteries while playing a CD.)
· The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may become warm
while recharging is in progress. This is normal and is not a
malfunction.
· You cannot charge the rechargeable batteries using the external
battery case.
If the battery lid
compartment
comes loose
Slide the lid back into
place horizontally.
