1 .S t o r age Temperature and Humidity
( S h o rt - t e r m )
In a dry location with low humidity (Max.85%), no corrosive gases, at a
t e m p e rature range of -20ºC to 45ºC.
In a location where humidity is extremely high or with tempera t u r e
b e l ow -20ºC or above 45ºC, the metallic parts of battery will rust and
result in electrolyte leakage due to expansion or contraction in part s
composed of organic materi a l s.
2 . Long-term Storage (2 ye a rs , -20ºC to 35ºC)
As long-term storage can accelerate battery self-discharge and lead to
the deactivation of reactants, locations where the temperature ra n g e s
b e t ween 10ºC and 30ºC are suitable for long-term stora g e.
When charge for the first time after long-term stora g e, deactivation of
reactants may have led to increased battery voltage and decreased
b a t t e ry capacity.Restore such batteries to original perfo rmance through
repeating seve ral cycles of charge and discharge.
When storing battery for more than 1 ye a r, charge at least once a ye a r
to prevent leakage and deteri o ration in perfo rmance due to self-
d i s c h a r g e.When using a rapid charger of voltage detection type, carry
out charge and discharge at least once eve ry 6 months.
N o t e :
To get the best perfo rm a n c e, charge your battery for more than 12
hours at the first time after unpacking, and carry out 3 cycles of charge
and discharge under proper conditions.

R e ch a rge a ble Battery Installation & Use
The provided battery can be recharged for about 300 times. I t
t a kes about 4-5 hours to recharge the battery, then the red
indicator is put out and the green one flashes. A fully charged
b a t t e ry can power the unit for about 2.5 hours. Powe r
consumption depends on the operations of the player such as
b rightness of the screen, volume level, etc.
R e ch a rge the battery when fully spent in order to maximize
its life.
N ever rech a rge the battery already fully ch a rge d .
Under no circumstance should you short out the battery, store it
in a metal container, or leave it in a humid or damp env i r o n m e n t .
Store the battery in an airtight container if possibl e. R e c h a r g e
e f fe c t i veness will degrade when environmental tempera t u r e s
drop below 10 ºC or exceed 35 ºC.
