1 Remove the Lid.
Important guidelines to follow when using the battery.
Please note: The battery capacity becomes less at low tempera-
tures. Battery life will become shorter if a long time period elapses
after the battery had been recharged. When using the batteries af-
ter a long period of non use, be sure to recharge the battery first.
Hint for getting the longest life from your battery:
1 Recharge the battery after use.
If the battery is left discharged for a long period, it may become
impossible to charge.
2 Recharge the battery at least once every 6 months.
Even a charged battery, that is left unused for a long period of
time, the charging capacity of the battery may become reduced.
3 Do not charge the battery for more than 24 hours.
If the battery is charged for a longer period than necessary, the
charging capacity of the battery may become reduced.
4 When storing the battery, select a cool, dark, dry place.
AUTO POWER SHUT OFF
“BATT” starts blinking when the Battery Charge Level becomes
low and the display shows “E- F”.
The tape deck shuts off automatically a few minutes later to protect
the battery. POWER indicator starts blinking several seconds be-
fore power shuts off.

Battery Charging
The AC Adaptor/Battery Charger (SBC3640) is also to be used for
charging the battery.
® The charging time for one SBC3641 battery is approximately 2
hours.
@ The recharging time is based on a room temperature of 20°C.
The lower the temperature, the longer the recharging time. To
charge the battery, slide the battery into the charger as shown.
Set the switch to “CHARGE”. The charge indicator will light up.
The battery is fully loaded when the indicator turns off. :
® To protect the battery, do not repeatedly recharge a fully-
charged battery.
@
The
battery
may
become
warm
during
use
and

charging.
This
is
not

PRECAUTIONS
To ensure proper and safe use of your PHILIPS Personal Video, be sure to follow the guidelines listed below.
If there is anything you do not understand, please consult your dealer.
Be Careful of Condensation (Dew). (Condensa-
tion may cause damage to your tape or to the
heads in this unit.)
What is condensation?: Condensation is the build up of water drop-
lets on a surface, such as those that appear on windows when a
‘ heater is used to warm a room in the winter.
i If condensation (DEW) occurs
@ When the power is turned on, “DEW” blinks on the LCD
. panel. The POWER indicator and the DEW display blink.
@ After approximately 15 seconds the power automatically
switches off and only the DEW display keeps blinking.
@ Since condensation is usually a gradual process, the “DEW”
indication may not appear for the first 10-15 minutes after
condensation begins.
HE What to do if condensation occurs
@ Ifa tape is loaded, turn the power on again, remove the
tape, and then wait for the condensation to disappear.
@ Starting to use the unit
@ After making sure that the DEW display has gone out, turn
on the power and use the unit.
i Conditions which cause condensation
@ A room in which the heater has just been turned on.
@ When the unit is suddenly moved from a cold location to a
warm location.
@ A room which has a high level of humidity.
@ When the unit is suddenly moved from an air-conditioned
room or car to a hot, humid location.
@ When moving the unit between locations with greatly differ-
ent temperature levels, let the unit become acclimated to the
new environment before using it,
la tctavel {lave Mg acrerclUiecelac
If the unit is subjected to a shock during use, noise may appear on
the screen, and the sound may be distorted.
Protect the unit from rain.
Protect the unit from sea water.
Protect the unit from sand and dust.
Placing the unit close to a TV may have bad effects on the picture
and sound.
Do not use the unit with the cassette holder facing down.
This may cause the tape to be wound unevenly or become slack,
resulting in damage to the tape.
When transporting or shipping the unit, make sure to remove the
video cassette from the unit before packing it.
Care and Maintenance
@ Remove dirt and smudges by wiping with a soft cloth.
@ Do not use substances such as benzene or thinner for cleaning.
