Precautions for Battery Pack Operation (PDV-LC10)

Operation of the battery pack

	• Charge the battery pack fully before using
	it for the first time.
	• When the surrounding temperature is
INTRODUCTION	high, the battery pack may sometimes be
	unusable due to activation of protection
	circuitry.
	• When the portable DVD player is powered
	from the battery pack and if the player has
	not been operated for about 5 minutes
	with the power switched on, the player
	will turn off automatically. (Auto power
	OFF)
	• During battery pack operation, the display
	of the portable DVD player may become
	dim. This is to save power and is not a
	malfunction.
	• The battery pack becomes hot after use
	and the portable DVD player also becomes
	hot during use. This is not malfunction.
	• When the battery pack is not to be used
	for a long period, be sure to remove it
	from the portable DVD player. If the
	battery pack is left attached, continual
	flow of weak current renders it
	overdischarged and eventually unusable
	even when you try to charge it later.
	• If the portable DVD player is switched on
	while the battery pack is not fully charged,
	the operation may sometimes be
	unstable. Be sure to charge the battery
	pack fully before use.
