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.
3 When recharging is complete, unplug the
AC adaptor from the AC power outlet and
the DC IN jack.

Using the AC adaptor (supplied)
Connect the AC adaptor.
Refer to "Using rechargeable batteries" for connection instruc-
tions.
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.
Location of Controls
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 for rechargeable bat-
teries.
Battery indicator
This indicator flashes on and off when the batteries are almost out
of power. Power will be cut off a short while later.
Note:
Turning off the Anti-Shock Protection EX will save the battery
power more or less. For details, see "Anti-shock Protection EX"
on page 4.
If the unit malfunctions or freezes during use,
disconnect the power source (the AC adaptor
and batteries) once. Then, re-connect the power
source and continue operation.
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 mal-
function.

This function has been developed to achieve excellent performance
against sound interruption caused by vibrations. You will be able
to enjoy listening to music during jogging (not vigorous jogging).
This function is achieved by utilizing the high-performance
servo circuit and audio data that has been stored in the memory
ahead of time (up to 45 seconds worth).
Normally, the "ANTI SHOCK" indicator lights up on the display
and the Anti-Shock Protection EX is in effect.

H.B.S
The display changes as follows.
HBS 1
= HBS 2 = (cancelled)
HBS 2 provides more effect.
Notes:
· During Anti-Shock Protection EX operation, the disc rotates at
a higher rate than usual in order to collect extra audio data.
This may cause the batteries to run out faster and could result
in a slight increase in disc rotation noise.
· The Anti-Shock Protection EX function can be switched ON
and OFF during playback. However, this may cause a slight
interruption in the sound because the disc's rotational speed
changes.
