■ Charging the Battery
Charge the battery when using for the first time (“BATTERY CHARGE” is set to “ON” (page 28)). Plug the AC adapter into a
wall outlet and the corresponding connector on the TV. The CHARGE indicator lights and charging begins. When charging is
completed, the CHARGE indicator turns off.
Charging while Viewing:
The battery will be charged, while you are viewing if “BATTERY CHARGE” is set to “ON” (page 28). In this case, charging
takes about 12 hours. To preserve battery performance it is recommended that “BATTERY CHARGE” be set to “OFF” if
battery power is not in constant use.
Note:
• Charging time may be longer depending on ambient temperature, battery condition and other factors. Check to make sure the CHARGE
indicator is not lit before using.
General Reference for Battery Viewing Time
The viewing time differs according to the BRIGHTNESS setting
(page 37).
Note:
• Operating time may be shorter depending on certain conditions such
as use in cold climates.
When You Want to Check the Amount of Remaining
Battery Power
Press the DISPLAY button on the remote control.
• Although the remaining battery power indicator will flash red
for the first 10 seconds, it will remain lit constantly after that
time.
• The amount of remaining charge is only displayed when
operating on battery power.
• The remaining battery power indicator changes according to
battery status, temperature and conditions of use. This
indicator should be used as a reference for the amount of
battery power remaining.
When Battery is not Charging Properly
• If the CHARGE indicator begins to flash extremely rapidly during charging, this means that charging is not proceeding
normally.
• When the CHARGE indicator flashes at an interval of about a second during charging, the TV main unit is not in an
appropriate temperature range for charging. The temperature range for charging should be approximately between 50°F
(10°C) and 86°F (30°C).
• If the CHARGE indicator begins to flash extremely rapidly (at about 3 flashes a second) during charging, this means that
charging is not proceeding normally because the battery may malfunction. Replace the battery with the new one.
