To recharge the NiCd battery pack, complete the following steps:
1. If the portable is on, turn it off.
2. One of the connectors on the cable has the cable number on it.
Plug that connector into the cable input jack on the bottom of the
portable.
3. Attach the small, round plug of the 9-volt power adapter to the
round power input jack on the cable connector labeled
