Extensive DAISY navigation is done as this causes more frequent use of the CD drive and thus
consumes more power.
The batteries will last less than half as long or about 2 hours if playing standard (type CD-DA)
music or book CD’s.
The batteries will last about 3 hours if playing non DAISY MP3 music or book CD’s.
Higher volume consumes more power.
Higher playback speed consumes more power
Ambient temperature may affect battery life
2.
Can I charge the batteries while playing a book?
Yes. If you plug the Victor Reader into AC power it will recharge the batteries even if you are
listening to a book.
3.
Can I damage my Victor Reader if I accidentally insert the AC/DC power adapter plug
into the wrong hole?
No.
4.
How can I confirm that I have connected the AC/DC adapter correctly?
When you place the player in front of you with the handle on the left, the hole for the AC/DC
adapter plug is the hole farthest from you on the right edge of the player. It is marked with three
vertical lines. When you connect the AC/DC adapter plug while Victor Reader is On you will
hear a short chime. This confirms you are connected and the batteries are charging. You may
also confirm that the power supply is properly connected by pressing the INFO key on the
Classic or the 0 key on the and listening for the message, “power cord operated”. When
not connected to the AC power these info keys will report that Victor Reader is battery operated.
IF you unplug the AC/DC adapter while Victor Reader is powered On you will again hear a short
chime confirming power has been disconnected.
5.
Can I reduce the effectiveness of my batteries by under-charging or over-charging?
No. Victor Reader uses high quality NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries that
do not have a chemical memory like Nickel Cadmium batteries. The NiMH batteries do not
require a specific charging cycle and will not be made less effective by under charging or over
charging.

Can I damage my batteries if I leave the power cord connected for a long time?
