as shown.  
The rechargeable batteries should be charged for 15 hours before they  
are used for the first time or if the CD965 has not been used for a long  
period.

manual.  
The mains adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and  
from the DC socket (17) after charging.  
DO NOT CHARGE CONTINUOUSLY FOR MORE THAN 24 HOURS.  
DOING SO CAN CAUSE THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES TO  
DETERIORATE.  
Should the operating time after a full charge decrease drastically,  
purchase a new set of rechargeable batteries. Be sure to use the correct  
type of rechargeable battery N620AA (620mAh) or equivalent.  
Operation using non-rechargeable batteries (not  
included)  
Open the battery compartment and insert 2 x LR6 (AA ) or equivalent size  
batteries into the compartment, taking care to observe correct polarities  
as shown. Note: When the CD965 is to be operated using non-  
rechargeable batteries, always unplug the AC adaptor from the mains  
outlet and from the DC socket (17).  
We would recommend for economy, that the CD965 is used via the  
Mains adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for  
occasional or stand-by use only.

Product Care  
Do not expose the CD965 to extremes of temperature. The product  
should be kept in a warm environment free from dust and damp. For  
external cleaning use only a soft, clean cloth. Use a damp cloth to clean  
the plastic cabinet. A mild soap will help to remove grease or oil. Never  
use strong detergents or spray cleaners, abrasive powders, thinners or  
solvents on the machine, as these may cause damage the finish.  
CD Player Maintenance  
The player mechanism is fitted with self-lubricating bearings, and must  
not be oiled or greased.  
Cleaning compact discs  
While CDs do not ‘scratch’ the way vinyl records do, they are not  
indestructible. Although the music tracks on the disc are covered with a  
protective layer, it is still advisable to treat the disc carefully. As long as  
you always pick up discs by the edge, and put them back in their holders  
immediately after use, cleaning will not normally be necessary. However,  
should fingerprints, dust or dirt appear, you can wipe them off with a soft,  
lint-free cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line from centre to edge. If the  
discisheavilysoiled useacommerciallyavailableCDcleaner. Detergent  
or abrasive cleaning agents must never be used. Never write on the disc  
label – this can cause irreparable damage to the disc.
