2Connect the power adapter to the 4.5V DC jack of the player and then to the wall outlet.
Recharging stops after battery is full or when you start playback.
3When the battery is fully recharged, BBAATTTTFFUULLLLappears in the display.
The approximate power level of your batteries is shown on the display.
TIP
> It is normal for the batteries to become warm during recharging.
> If the batteries become too warm, recharging will be interrupted for
approximately 30 minutes.
> To ensure proper recharging on board, take care that contacts are clean.
> Recharging already charged or half-charged batteries will shorten their lifetime.
We therefore recommend that you let the rechargeable 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.
