P. Rechargeable Battery Installation and Use
The player utilizes a set of long-life Ni-Mh batteries for a portable
power supply. Ni-MH batteries feature high storage capacity and low
level of degradation. This means the Ni-MH 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 approximately 3 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.
