About batteries

Charge and store the battery at 5~35˚ C (41~95˚ F).

Do not charge the battery for more than 12 hours or leave the battery fully discharged for a long time. Doing so may shorten the battery life.

Depending on how you use your player, actual battery life may vary and may be shorter than specified.

Note

The charging time may differ depending on your PC’s capabilities.

If you want to charge the battery on your laptop, make sure that the laptop's battery is full or the laptop is plugged into a power source.

The player can only be charged by connecting to your PC with the cradle. Do not use a separate USB AC adapter as it may not charge the battery or allow proper operation of the player.
