No. However, if you are not going to use your Victor Reader for a long time such as being away
on vacation it is best to disconnect it from the power mains.

Can I replace my batteries?
No. For safety reasons, the batteries are sealed and must be replaced by HumanWare or an
authorized dealer.
8.
How many times can I recharge my batteries before they require replacement?
The batteries are rated for 500 charge/discharge cycles. After that they will still recharge but
their capacity to retain a charge will decrease. When the battery no longer maintains a charge it
should be replaced.

What should I do if my CD is stuck and will not eject?
First, try turning Off your Victor Reader and then turning it back On and then pressing eject. If
the On/Off key appears to be not working (no beep is heard when you press it) then hold the
On/Off key down for 10 seconds, then release it. Then hold down the eject key while you again
press the On/Off key. Continue to hold the eject key until you hear, “Welcome To Victor”.
Victor Reader should then eject the CD.
2.
Can I damage my Victor Reader if I insert the CD upside down?
No. Victor Reader will simply eject the CD.
3.
Why does my Victor Reader make whining or chirpy sounds every couple of minutes?
This is the normal sound of the CDROM drive while the player is reading information from the
CD. For DAISY CD books, fifteen seconds after the CD read is complete the CD will spin down
to save power and become silent for a minute or two until it needs to be read again. Pressing
navigation keys or jumping to a bookmark will also cause the CD to spin-up in order to be
repositioned to the new location.
4.
What should I do if my CD skips or stops playing?
Poor quality CD’s or CD’s with fingerprints or scratches will often not play properly or not play
at all. Eject the CD. Try cleaning it using a soft lint free cloth or CD cleaning cloth, which can be
purchased at most stores that sell CD’s. Do not use paper towel or tissues. Clean the surface of
the CD from the middle towards the outer edge. If the CD still does not play, it should be
inspected for scratches. Scratched CD’s should be returned for replacement.
