tery may need to be recharged overnight (about 8

chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble, in-
cinerate, or heat the battery. Do not leave the battery
in a place subject to direct sunlight, or in a car with its
windows closed.
Do not connect the player to a power source other
than that which is indicated here or on the label as this
may result in the risk of re or electric shock.
Charging with a Computer
Your player can be charged through a USB com-
puter connection. Use the supplied USB cable to
