11.2.4. How can I confirm that I have connected the AC/DC adapter
correctly?
When you place the player in front of you with the handle on the left, the hole
for the AC/DC adapter plug is the hole farthest from you on the right edge of
the player. It is marked with three vertical lines. When you connect the
AC/DC adapter plug while Victor is on you will hear a short chime. This
confirms you are connected and the batteries are charging. You may also
confirm that the power supply is properly connected by pressing the INFO key
on the Victor Classic or the 0 key on the Classic + and listening for the
message, "power cord operated". When not connected to the AC power these
info keys will report that Victor is battery operated. IF you unplug the AC/DC
adapter while Victor is powered on you will again hear a short chime
confirming power has been disconnected.

11.2.5. Can I reduce the effectiveness of my batteries by under-
charging or over-charging?
No. Victor uses high quality NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride ) rechargeable
batteries that do not have a chemical memory like Nickel Cadmium batteries.
The NiMH batteries do not require a specific charging cycle and will not be
made less effective by under charging or over charging.

11.2.6. Can I damage my batteries if I leave the power cord connected
for a long time?

being away on vacation it is best to disconnect it from the power mains.
