About the power supply

The MP-VT1 uses a built-in lithium ion battery that can be recharged by connecting the unit to a computer with the included USB cable. You can also use an AC adapter (sold separately) to power the unit and recharge the battery.

When new, the battery charge lasts about 8 hours.

NOTE

When you purchase the MP-VT1, the battery is not fully charged. Please charge it before use or use it with an AC adapter (sold separately).

Recharging the battery

Recharging with a computer

To charge the battery using a computer, connect the unit to the computer using the included USB cable and turn the computer on if it is off and not transmitting power to the unit.

Connect the MP-VT1 directly to the computer. Recharging cannot be guaranteed if a USB hub is used between the computer and the MP-VT1.

Recharging takes about 6 hours (when the MP-VT1 power is OFF).

If the MP-VT1’s power is turned ON when it is being recharged from a computer, it is automatically treated by the computer as a connected USB drive. (See “Connecting to a computer” on page 11.)

Recharging with a PS-P520 AC adapter (sold separately)

Connect the AC adapter to the MP-VT1’s DC IN 5V jack and plug the adapter into a working power outlet.

Recharging takes about 3 hours.

You can use the MP-VT1 when it is connected to an AC adapter and recharging.

Furthermore, the recharging time is the same whether the MP-VT1 power is ON or OFF.

NOTE

The indicator at the right side of the display shows the battery’s charging status. It lights orange while charging and goes out when charging is complete.
