About Rechargeable Battery Pack
Your portable DVD player comes with a lithium ion rechargeable battery that attaches
to the bottom of the player. Your new battery should be fully charged before it is used
for the first time. Charging time is normally about 5 hours. A fully charged battery
delivers about 3 hours of use, but playing time varies from disc to disc. We
recommend you only charge the battery when the battery is down to its last hour of
charge or completely out of power. Unnecessary charging of the Battery Pack will
reduce service life. If the battery is not used it will automatically discharge gradually
within one month.
If you don’t plan on using the battery for an extended period of time, discharge the
battery and keep it in a dry and cool place.
If the battery loses power during play, stop playing the DVD, otherwise damage may
occur.
