Charging the battery
The Joybee 180 can be charged using the AC power
adapter (optional accessory) as well as from the PC.
Charging is done through the USB port as follows:
• Exact charging time differs according to battery status.
• Chargers for use in some areas may not have an indicator. Check the
battery charge status using the indication on the OLED display (see
"OLED display" on page 8).
• The life of the battery depends on the frequency of charge, and
more frequently the battery is recharged, the shorter the replay time
of the device. This is a normal phenomenon and not a manufacturing defect of the battery.
• When the batteries are fully charged, Joybee 180 offers about 15
hours of continuous playback time for MP3 music. However, the
exact replay time is subject to the condition of the battery, the operating frequency and the format of the files being played.
