Battery powered operation

This unit can be powered with three kinds of supplies including the batteries, household power
line and car battery.
The batteries may either be rechargeable batteries manufactured specially by KENWOOD or
alkaline batteries. Be sure to remove the batteries from the unit when it is not to be used for
a long period (of more than a week).
Use of two batteries

or two LR6 alkaline batteries fol-
lowing the polarity indications to
the "1 PLAY or CHARGE" side.
3 Close the cover.
• When using a rechargeable batteries which are new
or which have not been used for more than 2
months, the operating period may be shorter than
normal. This is due to the properties of the battery
and not a malfunction. After recharging, use the
batteries on the unit until there are exhausted.
The original performance of the battery perfor-
mance can be recovered by repeating this cycle a
few times.
