longest life, we recommend RadioShack
alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
1. Press down and slide the battery
compartment cover in the direction
of the arrow, then lift it up.
Note: The battery compartment
cover is hinged and can’t be
removed.

10 Preparation
2. Install the two batteries on top of the
ribbon as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked inside the
compartment.
3. Close the cover.
When the volume weakens or the sound
distorts, replace the batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use batter-
ies in the cassette player for a week or
more, remove the batteries. Batteries can
leak chemicals that can destroy electron-
ic parts.
