CD playback becomes intermittent, replace all batteries
with fresh ones.
When making an important recording, use new batteries
(preferably alkaline batteries with a longer service life)
to avoid any possible failure.
For better battery usage
• Continuous operation of the unit causes the battery
power to be consumed quicker than noncontinuous
operation.
• Operation of the unit in a cold place causes the battery
power to be consumed more quickly than in a warm
place.

• When not using the unit for a long time (more than
two weeks) or when using the household AC, remove
the batteries to avoid a malfunction or damage to the
unit.
• When the JVC power cord provided with this unit is
connected, the power is automatically switched from
the batteries to the household AC even when the
batteries are loaded.
However, remove the batteries when using the power
cord.
CAUTIONS WHEN USING BATTERIES:
When batteries are used incorrectly, it may result in
the leakage of chemicals from the batteries or they
may explode. The following care should be taken:
• Check that the positive ª and negative ·
terminals of the batteries are positioned correctly
and load them as shown in the figure on the left.
• Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix
different types of batteries.
