This unit is equipped with battery recharging circuitry. For safety measures, it requires two  
specifically made NICAD (nickle-cadmium) batteries. Use ONLY the following rechargeable battery  
types: KENWOOD NB-77, KENWOOD NB-88 or PANASONIC RP-BP60D.  
NOTE: This unit is capable of playing a 3" CD single without an adapter.  
Do not touch the laser lens.  
Temperature changes can cause condensation to form on the laser lens. If condensation forms on the  
lens, leave the disc compartment door open (with no disc) for an hour to remove condensation.  
Exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat (such as inside a car parked in the sun) can cause  
damage or malfunction.  
To prevent dust from reaching internal parts, keep the disc compartment door closed when not  
in use (except when necessary to remove condensation).  
It is always a good idea to let nickel-cadmium batteries run all the way down before charging  
them. Then when you do charge them, do so to their full potential and they will last longer and  
provide more power.

Rechargeable batteries may slowly lose their charge when stored, therefore an initial charge  
may be required before use.  
Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.  
Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly,  
if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made  
to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.  
Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal
