USE AND MAINTENANCE
THIS UNIT IS SUPPLIED WITH HIGHLY- EFFECTIVE RECHARGEABLE
BATTERY (LI-POLYMER). SUCH BATTERY PACK
A HIGH STORAGE CAPACITY AND LOW LEVEL OF DEGRADATION. THE
LATTER MEANS THAT THE BATTERY CAN ALSO BE RECHARGED WHEN
ONLY PARTLY SPENT.
Plug the AC adapter into the unit.
Please fully charge the battery prior to first use.
Rechargeable Battery Installation & Use.
The provided battery can be recharged for about 300 times.
It takes about 4-5 hours to recharge the battery, then the red indicator is put out. A fully
charged battery can power the unit for about 2.5 hours. Power consumption depends on
the operations of the player such as brightness of the screen, volume level, etc.
Recharge the battery when fully spent in order to maximize its life.
Never recharge the battery already fully charged.
Under no circumstance should you short out the battery, store it in a metal container, or
leave it in a humid or damp environment. Store the battery in an airtight container if
possible.
Recharge effectiveness will degrade when environmental temperatures drop below
10 oC or exceed 35 oC.
Battery Storage
1 . Storage Temperature and Humidity (Short - term)
In a dry location with low humidity (Max.85%), no corrosive gases, at a temperature
range of -20 oC to 45 oC.
In a location where humidity is extremely high or with temperature below -20 oC or
above 45 oC, the metallic parts of battery will rust and result in electrolyte leakage due
to expansion or contraction in parts composed of organic materials

19
Quick Starting Guide
2 . Long-term Storage (2 years , -20 oC to 35 oC)
As long-term storage can accelerate battery self-discharge and lead to the deactivation
of reactants, locations where the temperature ranges between 10 oC and 30 oC are
suitable for long-term storage.
When charge for the first time after long-term storage, deactivation of reactants may
may have led to increased battery voltage and decreased battery capacity. Restore such
such batteries to original performance through repeating several cycles of charge
and discharge.
When storing battery for more than 1 year, charge at least once a year to prevent leakage
and deterioration in performance due to self discharge. When using a rapid charger of
of voltage detection type, carry out charge and discharge at least once every 6 months.
Note :
To get the best performance, 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.
