INTRODUCTION
Operation of the battery pack
• Charge the battery pack fully before using
it for the first time.
• When the surrounding temperature is
high, the battery pack may sometimes be
unusable due to activation of protection
circuitry.
• When the portable DVD player is powered
from the battery pack and if the player has
not been operated for about 5 minutes
with the power switched on, the player
will turn off automatically. (Auto power
OFF)
• During battery pack operation, the display
of the portable DVD player may become
dim. This is to save power and is not a
malfunction.
• The battery pack becomes hot after use
and the portable DVD player also becomes
hot during use. This is not malfunction.
• When the battery pack is not to be used
for a long period, be sure to remove it
from the portable DVD player. If the
battery pack is left attached, continual
flow of weak current renders it
overdischarged and eventually unusable
even when you try to charge it later.
• If the portable DVD player is switched on
while the battery pack is not fully charged,
the operation may sometimes be
unstable. Be sure to charge the battery
pack fully before use.
Precautions for Battery Pack Operation (PDV-LC10)
Storage
• The battery pack should be stored under
an surrounding temperature between 15
and 25°C. Avoid storing it under extremely
low temperatures, in a place with high
temperature and high humidity or in a
place subject to soot, etc.
• When the battery pack is stored for a long
period, at least once an year it is
recommended to discharge it fully on the
portable DVD player, recharge it fully and
store it again.
Service life and disposal
• When the charging time or available
operation time becomes extremely short,
the battery may be reaching the end of its
life. The battery pack can be used for
about 300 cycles of recharging and
operations.
• To dispose of a used battery pack, wrap a
piece of tape around the terminal section
and treat it in compliance with your local
regulations.
To extend the service life of the battery
pack
The battery pack incorporates nickel-
hydrogen cells. To extend its service life, it
is recommended to discharge it fully before
every recharging.
