CHARGING THE BATTERY
The DVD player is powered by a lithium-polymer battery. It has no memory effect and thus it can
be recharged at any time regardless of whether it is fully or partially discharged.
The player can be recharged when it is powered on or off. When the power is off, it takes about
3 to 4 hours to fully charge the battery. When the power is on, it takes approximately ten hours to
charge the battery. When fully charged, the battery can be used for about two hours.
While the player is charging, the battery charge indicator will be illuminated red. When the battery
is fully charged, the battery charge indicator will be illuminated green.
To Charge the Battery
The player can be charged using the AC/DC Power Adapter or the Vehicle DC Power Adapter.
By AC/DC Power Adapter:
Connect the AC/DC Power Adapter to the DC IN 9-12V jack on the player, then plug the adapter
into a 120 VAC outlet.
By Vehicle DC Power Adapter:
Plug one end of the Vehicle DC Power Adapter into the DC IN 9-12V jack on the player, then plug
the other end into the vehicle DC accessory socket of a car.
Do not charge the DVD player in the vehicle when the vehicle is not running.
