Q. Built-In Rechargeable Battery
The DVD player utilizes a long-life Li-Polymer battery for portability.
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 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 DVD Pplayer battery for an extended
period of time (one week or longer), we recommend that you fully
charge the battery. For longer periods of storage, please recharge
the battery at least once every two months to maintain the battery in
optimum condition. Each full recharge takes approximately five hours
and one full charge can provide power to the player for approximately
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. The DVD player must be set to POWER OFF to recharge the
battery.
2. 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.
3. To charge the battery, please connect the power jack directly into
the DVD Player 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.
2. Recharge efficiency will degrade when environmental tempera-
tures drop below 50
o
F (10
o
C) or exceed 95
o
F (35
o
C).
