Handling instructions
•Recharging already charged or half-charged batteries will shorten their
lifetime. We therefore recommend that you let the rechargeable ECO-PLUS
NiMH battery run till it is completely empty before you recharge it.
•To avoid a short circuit, do not let the battery touch any metal object.
•If the battery becomes empty soon after recharging, then either its contacts
are dirty or it has reached the end of its lifetime.

adapter’s voltage.
2Connect the power adapter to the 4.5V DC socket of
the player and to the wall socket.
