Power Supply
Using and Charging the Battery Pack
Charge the Battery Pack before using it the first time. Charging time is normally about
4 hours. When fully charged, the Battery Pack delivers 2.5 hours of continuous power.
Battery Pack should be fully charged before initial use!
1. Attaching the Battery Pack
Turn the player upside down on a smooth,
clean surface. Direct the battery so that the
battery contacts and the five plastic tabs are
aligned with the matching contacts and tab
recesses on the player.
2. Lock the Battery Pack to the Player
With one hand on the player to prevent it from
moving, push the battery pack on to the player
then slide the Battery Pack toward the front of
the Player until you hear it click and lock into
place.
3. Charging the Battery Pack
Plug the Power Adapter into the Player’s
DC-IN 12 V Jack (located on Right Side of
Player). Plug the other end of the Power Cord
into a household wall Power Outlet.
Recommended Recharging and Charging Times
Your new battery should be fully charged before it is used for the first time. Charging
time is normally about 4 hours. A fully charged battery delivers 2.5 hours of use.
Therefore, we recommend that you only charge the battery when the battery is down
to its last hour of charge or completely out of power. Unnecessary charging of the
Battery Pack will reduce service life. When the Battery Pack is being charged, the
battery indicator will turn red. After charging is complete, the red light will turn to green.

Detaching Battery Pack
Detaching Battery Pack from the unit:
If the player is not going to be used for a long period of time, we recommend that you
detach the Battery Pack. Even if the unit is powered down, the unit is still consuming
some power in STANDBY mode. This could lead to over discharging the battery. Make
sure the power is turned off before detaching the Battery Pack. After detaching the
battery pack, take care when handling the unit.
1. Slide and hold in position.
Press the tab towards the front of the unit. Hold
the tab in the up position.

the Unit. Carefully lift the Battery Pack from your
player.
