P. Rechargeable Battery Installation and Use
The player utilizes a set of long-life Li-Polymer batteries for a portable
power supply. Li-Polymer batteries feature high storage capacity and
low level of degradation. This means the Li-Polymer batteries do not
have “Memory Effect” and thus can be recharged safely regardless of
whether the battery is fully or only partially discharged. The battery
must be charged at least 8 hours prior to first use.
NOTE: 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 bat-
tery 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 and one full charge can
provide power to the player for more than 2 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 battery and leave connected until the red power indicator turns
off.
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. The battery can only be
charged with the AC adaptor and will NOT charge with the car DC
adaptor.
