Before Use; Rechargeable Batteries - Teac R-5 Manuel Du Propriétaire

Before Use

< As the unit may become warm during
operation, always leave sufficient space
around the unit for ventilation.
< The voltage supplied to the unit should
match the voltage as printed on the label
of the AC adaptor. If you are in any doubt
regarding this matter, consult an electrician.
< Choose the installation location of your unit
carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or
close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations
subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat,
cold or moisture.
< Do not place the unit on an amplifier/
receiver.
< Do not open the cabinet as this might result
in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock.
If a foreign object should get into the unit,
contact your dealer or service company.
< When removing the power plug from the
wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug,
never yank the cord.
< Keep this manual in a safe place for future
reference.
Maintenance
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a
soft cloth or use a diluted mild liquid soap. Be
sure to remove any excess liquid completely.
Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as they
may damage the surface of the unit. Allow the
surface of the unit to dry completely before
using.

Rechargeable Batteries

The R-5 uses a Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery pack
stored in the battery compartment. Leaving the
AC adaptor connected to the R-5 and plugged
into an AC line, ensures the batteries will be
fully charged when you need to use the R-5
on battery power. The R-5 can be used for 5
hours after batteries are fully charged. (When
the volume is set to 20.)
< When the R-5 is not being used but the AC
adaptor is plugged in, the batteries will be
completely charged within approximately 3.5
hours from a full discharge.
< When the R-5 is ON and the AC adaptor
plugged in, the batteries will be completely
charged within approximately 24 hours.
< It may take up to 4 charge and discharge
cycles before the batteries are operating
at full capacity when the R-5 is new or left
unused for several weeks.
It is suggested that the R-5 be plugged in for
about 12 hours before you use it for the first
time.
< Once the R-5 has been fully charged while it
is STANDBY, do not unplug the AC adaptor
and then immediately plug it again. This
will restart the charging cycle even though
the batteries are fully charged. Doing this
repeatedly will damage the batteries.
< If the R-5 is not plugged in, the batteries will
slowly discharge as a safety measure.
< The cycles of recharging the Nickel-Metal-
Hydride battery pack diminish the battery's
capacity. It is called "Memory effect". To
prevent this, sometimes the battery must be
fully discharged before you recharge it.
To discharge the battery, unplug the AC
adaptor and leave the R-5 ON until it will
shut off automatically. If you feel the battery
capacity was reduced, leave the battery
unused for several weeks.
