On charging

•The supplied USB cradle can be used only with this player. Any other models cannot be charged.

•Do not use the supplied USB cradle to charge any other battery beside the supplied one or the one designated for it (LIP-4WM).

•Be sure to use the supplied AC power adaptor.

•Charge the rechargeable battery at a temperature of +5° C (+41° F) to +35° C (+95° F). The charging time will vary according to the surrounding temperature. (If the surrounding temperature is low, the required charging time will be longer. This

is a characteristic of the lithium-ion battery.)

•If you do not use the player for a long time, remove the rechargeable battery from the player and keep it in the cool, dry place. To prevent degradation of the rechargeable battery, make sure not to store the rechargeable battery when it is either completely discharged or fully charged.

•The USB cradle and the player may become hot during the charging procedure; this, however poses no danger.

•Because of the battery’s characteristics, the capacity of the rechargeable battery may be smaller than normal when it is used for the first time or after a long period of disuse. In this case, charge and discharge the battery several times. The normal battery life will be restored.

•If the capacity of the rechargeable battery drops to half the normal amount, replace with the new one.

•If the player will be unused for a long time, remove the rechargeable battery, remove the player from the USB cradle and remove the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet.

On the MiniDisc cartridge

•Do not break open the shutter.

•Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to light, extreme temperatures, moisture or dust.

•Attach the supplied disc label only in the space designated for it on the disc. Do not stick it on any other disc surface.
