Introduction
Features
!A Portable MD player with "Mobile 1-bit dig-
ital amplifier"
"The 1-bit digital signal is sent to a constant voltage cir-
cuit directly from a high-order modulation circuit.
The amplifier transmits and amplifies the signal, and
allows extremely natural and clear sound with little
deterioration.
"High-quality sound is achieved by vast improvements
in the sound resolution. The speed and the smooth-
ness of rise of the sound are consequently ensured.
!"4-pole plug earphone" optimizes "Mobile
1-bit digital amplifier"
"Sharp has adopted "4-pole plug" earphone that com-
pletely separate right and left sound. Enjoy the high
quality sound of the "Mobile 1-bit digital amplifier".
!A Net MD portable recorder
Audio data saved on the hard disk of a PC can be trans-
ferred to a Net MD-compatible recorder using the pro-
vided software "BeatJam".
!This product features up to 50 times high
speed transfer from PC to MD in LP4 mode
"Transfer speed varies by the recording mode. In SP
mode, the speed is less than 1/4 of that in LP4 mode.
"Time for initialisation and the termination process is
omitted from the calculation of transfer speed.
"To achieve maximum speed, use the AC adaptor and
a high capacity battery together.
"Transfer speed depends on the performance of your
PC or the number of tracks to record.
Thank you for purchasing this SHARP product. For the
best performance, read this manual carefully. It will
guide you in operating your SHARP product.
The letters in brackets contained in the model number
indicate the colour of the product only. Operation and
specifications are unaffected.

-Using with the Rechargeable Battery-
!About charging time
After about 3.4 hours have passed, " " will
go out. The battery is charged up to 90% if it is
completely discharged.
To charge the battery fully, continue charging for about 2
more hours. In this case, you do not need to press the
CHARGE button. Even if the CHARGE button is pressed,
" " will not appear.
Notes:
"Charge the battery within the range of 5°C - 35°C
(41°F - 95°F).
"The unit can be left in the charging state after it is
completed.
Caution:
!Rechargeable battery
"A rechargeable nickel-metal hydride battery is the only
kind that can be used. Even if the battery is not used,
you should charge it at least once every three months
because of the special quality of this battery.
"The rechargeable battery can be charged approxi-
mately 300 times.
"When the operating time is reduced to about half the
normal amount of time, even after a full charge is per-
formed, replace the battery with a new one (AD-
N70BT).
"When the battery is charged for the first time or is
charged after not being used for a long period, the
operating time may be shorter than normal. The bat-
tery life will recover with normal use i.e. charging and
discharging.
"To avoid shortening the service life of the battery only
recharge the battery after it has been completely dis-
charged.
"If the rechargeable battery is used in a cold environ-
ment, the operating time will be reduced.
"Do not carry the battery in your pocket or a bag
together with metal objects (keys, coins, jewelry, etc.).
The battery may short out and generate significant
amounts of heat.
"Do not short-circuit the terminals as they will become
very hot and will damage the battery.
"Do not drop or subject the battery to shock.
"Do not insert objects (metal etc.) into the battery com-
partment of this product.
"Carry the battery in the supplied case.
"Use the specified battery AD-N70BT only. Do not
charge a battery (nickel-cadmium, alkaline, etc.) other
than that specified.
"Do not remove the outer cover of the re-
chargeable battery. It may cause heat gen-
eration, fire, or explosion.
"Do not dip the battery in water, do not dis-
pose of it in a fire, and do not take it apart.
"If the rechargeable battery terminal is dirty, charging
may not start. In such a case, wipe off the dirt with a dry
cloth.
"Do not disassemble the battery.
