Notes:
� To operate the unit on batteries, the AC adaptor must be disconnected from the DC IN jack. � It takes approximately 10 hours to recharge the rechargeable batteries. � Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approximately 300 charge-discharge cycles. If the operating time on one full charge becomes noticeably shorter than it used to be, the batteries have reached the end of their service life and should be replaced. � Recharging takes place only when the unit is powered off. (It is not possible to recharge the batteries while playing a CD.) � The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may become warm while recharging is in progress. This is normal and is not a malfunction.

Anti-Shock Protection EX
This function has been developed to achieve excellent performance against sound interruption caused by vibrations. You will be able to enjoy listening to music during jogging (not vigorous jogging). This function is achieved by utilizing the high-performance servo circuit and audio data that has been stored in the memory ahead of time (up to 45 seconds worth). Normally, the �ANTI SHOCK� indicator lights up on the display and the Anti-Shock Protection EX is in effect. When the disc is played, as the audio data gradually stored in the memory, the �ANTI SHOCK� indicator changes as follows: [Fully stored]

Notes:
� During Anti-Shock Protection EX operation, the disc rotates at a higher rate than usual in order to collect extra audio data. This may cause the batteries to run out faster and could result in a slight increase in disc rotation noise. � The Anti-Shock Protection EX function can be switched ON and OFF during playback. However, this may cause a slight interruption in the sound because the disc�s rotational speed changes.
