Charging the Battery
There are 2 ways to charge the battery in your PMP.
AC Adapter
The AC Adapter is the recommended way to charge your PMP. This connection has the ability to provide enough powertocompletelypoweryourplayerduringtheuseof any feature and charge your battery at full rate.
USB Cable
The PMP has a ‘USB Power Only’ option. When a USB Cable is plugged into the player and the other end is plugged into a powered USB port on a PC, the player gives you the option to enter ‘USB Power Only’ mode. Although this mode charges your battery, there are features on the PMP that can draw larger amounts of power and cause the battery to discharge. This charging connection is limited to the amount of power allowed to be drawn from a PC’s USB port.
A battery icon is present at the lower right of the display, indicating the relative charge state of the battery (full charge, half charge, etc.). When charging, the battery icon will be animated.
When the battery is depleted, a low battery warning will be displayed.
The unit will continue to operate for a short duration of time, at which point it will automatically turn off. To avoid this shutdown, connect the unit to a charging source (AC adapter or USB cable).
Battery playtime is highly dependent on how the PMP is used. Using wireless or TV Out features will shorten playtime. Music offers longer playtimes than video. Minimizing usage of the LCD backlight will increase playtime.
