USING VEHICLE
BATTERY POWER
You can power your CD player from
your vehicle's battery using a DC
adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1801
(not supplied).
Cautions:
• You must use a DC adapter that
supplies 6 volts and delivers at
least 550 milliamps. Its center tip
must be set to positive, and its
plug must correctly fit the CD
player's jack. The recom-
DC IN 6V
mended adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifi-
cations can damage the CD
player or the adapter.
• Disconnect the adapter from the
cigarette-lighter socket when you
are not using it to prevent the
vehicle's battery
drained.
• Always disconnect the adapter
from the cigarette-lighter socket
before you unplug it from the CD
player.
• If you park your vehicle in the sun,
temperatures inside can easily
reach levels that could damage
your CD player and your CDs. To
prevent heat damage, avoid leav-
ing your CD player or CDs in your
vehicle.
