10. Rechargeable Battery Installation and Use

The player utilizes a set of long-life Ni-Mh batteries for a portable power supply. Ni-MH batteries feature high storage capacity and low level of degradation. This means the Ni-MH batteries do not have “Memory Effect” and thus can be recharged safely regardless of whether the battery is fully or only partially discharged. Please fully charge the battery prior to first use.

NOTE: When charging the battery for the first time, ensure that the battery has been charged for at least eight hours prior to connecting it to the DVD player.

Do not under any circumstances short the battery terminals, store the battery in a metal container, or leave the battery in a humid or damp environment. Ideally, store the battery in an airtight container with des- iccant or other dehumidifying agent. Each full recharge takes approxi- mately five-hours and one full charge can provide power to the player for at least 2.5 hours.

Precautions related to Battery Recharge:

1.Once the battery is fully discharged, immediately recharge (regard- less of whether you plan to use battery or not) in order to maximize battery life.

2.To charge the battery, please connect the power jack directly into the battery. During recharge, the red indicator will stay on. Once fully recharged, the red light will turn off. At this point you may re- move the wall plug and stop charging.

Using and Maintaining your Rechargeable Batteries

1.Please make sure you always use only the AC adapter included with the player to recharge your batteries.

2.Recharge efficiency will degrade when environmental temperatures drop below 50oF (10oC) or exceed 95oF (35oC).

3.Please remove battery from the player and store it properly if the player is not to be used for long time. During this period , please recharge the battery at least once every two months to avoid irreparable damage to the battery. If the battery is attached to the player for a long period, please also recharge the battery at least once every two weeks.
