Rechargeable Battery Installation and
Use
The player utilizes a set of long-life NiMH batteries for
portable power supply. The NiMH battery pack is spe-
cially designed for your player, please consult your dealer
for purchasing the battery pack. NiMH batteries feature
high storage capacity and low level of degradation.This
means the NiMH batteries doesn’t have “Memory Effect”
and thus can be recharged safely regardless of whether
the battery is fully or only partially spent.
Please fully charge the battery prior to first use.
NOTE
When the DVD player is used with the battery as a
power source, ensure that the battery has been
charged for at least eight hours prior to connecting it
to the DVD player. In certain situations connecting a
low charged battery to the DVD can result in soft-
ware lock up.
If you plan to not use the battery for an extended period
of time (say, one week or longer), we recommend that
you first fully charge the battery and store it away prop-
erly. For longer periods of storage, please recharge the
battery at least once every two months to maintain the
battery in its best condition.
Please under no circumstances short out the battery, store
the battery in a metal container, or leave the battery in a
humid or damp environment. Ideally, store the battery in
an airtight container with desiccant or other dehumidify-
ing agent.
The NiMH battery may be recharged approximately 300
times. Each full recharge takes up to three-hours and one
full charge can provide power the player for around 3
hours.
