Cautions on Using this Player

Cleaning the player

Normally clean the player using a soft,
dry cloth. For tough dirt, apply some
neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts
water to a soft cloth, wring out
thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe

the player with a dry cloth. Note that
alcohol, thinner, benzene, insecticides,
etc., may cause the print or coating to
peel off. Also avoid leaving rubber or
plastic products in contact with the
player for long periods of time, as this
may damage the cabinet. When using

chemically treated cloths, read the
cloth's instructions carefully. Always
unplug the power cord from the power

outlet before cleaning the player.

To clean dirt off the liquid crystal

water droplets on the display for
long periods of time may result in
discoloration or stains. For tough dirt,
use a commercially available liquid
crystal display cleaner.

Precautions for Battery Pack Operation

Operation of the battery pack

Charge the battery pack fully before
using it for the first time.

When the surrounding temperature
is high, the battery pack may
sometimes be unusable due to
activation of protection circuitry.

powered from the battery pack and
if the player has not been operated
for about 10 minutes with the power
switched on, the player will turn off
automatically. (Auto power off)
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.

operation time becomes extremely
short, the battery may be reaching
the end of its life. The battery pack
can be used for about 300 cycles of
recharging and operations.

To dispose of a used battery pack,
wrap a piece of tape around the
terminal section and treat it in
compliance with your local
regulations.

Caution:

Danger of explosion if battery is
incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or
equivalent type.

Storage

The battery pack should be stored
under an surrounding temperature
between 15 and 25 . Avoid storing
it under extremely low temperatures,
in a place with high temperature and
high humidity or in a place subject to
