For your reference:
©This product is a rechargeable lithium
ion battery pack. It generates electrical
energy through an internal chemical re­
action. This chemical reaction is easily
affected by temperature and humidity
conditions. The effects become more se­
vere as the temperature increases or de­
creases. In locations where the
temperature is low, the battery pack may
not fully charge, or the CHARGE (CHG)
indicator may flash about 5 minutes after
you start using it. At higher temperatures,
a protector circuit may be activated, mak­
ing the battery pack inoperative.
©The battery pack will not be charged
when the player is ON (during play or in
the stop mode). Charging will start when
the STOP (□) button is pressed and held
for approximately 2 seconds to set the
player to the standby mode.
•The CHARGE (CHG) indicator goes off
when charging is completed. Disconnect
the AC adaptor and the AC cord after
confirming the CHARGE (CHG) indicator
is OFF,
• In the case where charging fails to start,
refer to the notes on page 48.
• It takes about 6 hours (at 20°C) to charge
the battery pack and, once fully charged,
the battery will be good for approximately
3 hours of continuous playback (with the
BRIGHT dial set to the center position).
(See page 20.) However, usage time will
differ depending on the operating condi-
tion. (If the brightness is set higher, the
battery operating time will be shorter.)
•The battery pack has a service life of ap­
proximately 300 charge-discharge cy­
cles. (It may depend on the operating
condition.) The charging time or operat­
ing time on one full charge will be gradu­
ally
shorter. If the time becomes
noticeably shorter than it used to be, the
battery pack has reached the end of its
service life and should be replaced.
M Notes when charging the battery
pack
•When the battery pack is to be used for
the first time, charge it fully before use.
• Upon completion of the charging, be sure
to disconnect the power plug from the
AC outlet. (If it is left connected, up to
about 2.0 W of power will be consumed.)
M Notes when using the battery pack
• For battery pack protection, do not charge
an already fully-charged battery pack.
M Notes when storing the battery pack
•Store the battery pack in areas where
temperature is at 15°C-25°C.
• Do not store the battery pack in areas of
extremely cold or high temperature, high
humidity or excessive oily smoke.
•When storing the battery pack for a long
period of time, discharge and fully
recharge it once a year and store it
again.
M Notes when disposing of the battery
pack
•Check, and follow, your local regulations
before disposal.
