P. Rechargeable Battery Installation and Use
The player utilizes a set of long-life Li-ion batteries for a portable power
supply. Li-ion batteries feature high storage capacity and low level of
degradation. This means the Li-ion batteries do not have “Memory
Effect” and thus can be recharged safely regardless of whether the
battery is fully or only partially discharged. Please fully charge the
battery at least 8 hours prior to first use.
NOTE: When the DVD player is used with the battery as a power
source, ensure that the battery has been charged for at least eight
hours prior to connecting it to the DVD player.
If you plan not to use the battery for an extended period of time (one
week or longer), we recommend that you first fully charge the battery
and store it away properly. For longer periods of storage, please
recharge the battery at least once every two months to maintain the
battery in optimum condition. Under no circumstances short the bat-
tery terminals, store the battery in a metal container, or leave the
battery in a humid or damp environment. Ideally, store the battery in
an airtight container with desiccant or other dehumidifying agent.
Each full recharge takes approximately five-hours.
During recharge, the red indicator will stay on. Once fully recharged,
the red light will turn off. At this point you may remove the wall plug
and stop charging.
Precautions related to Battery Recharge:
1. Once the battery is fully discharged, immediately recharge (re-
gardless of whether you plan to use battery or not) in order to maxi-
mize battery life.
2. To charge the battery, please connect the power jack directly into
the DVD player and leave the POWER switch in the off position.
Using and Maintaining your Rechargeable Batteries
1. Please make sure you always use only the AC adapter included
with the player to recharge your batteries.
