USE AND MAINTENANCE

THIS UNIT IS SUPPLIED WITH HIGHLY- E F F E C T I V E
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY (NI-MH). SUCH BATTERY PACK
A HIGH STO R AGE CAPACITY AND LOW LEVEL OF
DEGRADATION. THE LATTER MEANS THAT THE BATTERY
CAN ALSO BE RECHARGED WHEN ONLY PARTLY SPENT.

R e ch a rge a ble Battery Installation & Use

The provided battery can be recharged for about 300 times. I t
t a kes about 4-5 hours to recharge the battery, then the red
indicator is put out and the green one flashes. A fully charged
b a t t e ry can power the unit for about 2.5 hours. Powe r
consumption depends on the operations of the player such as
b rightness of the screen, volume level, etc.

R e ch a rge the battery when fully spent in order to maximize
its life.

N ever rec h a rge the battery already fully ch a rge d .

Under no circumstance should you short out the battery, store it
in a metal container, or leave it in a humid or damp env i r o n m e n t .
Store the battery in an airtight container if possibl e. R e c h a r g e
e f fe c t i veness will degrade when environmental tempera t u r e s
drop below 10 ºC or exceed 35 ºC.

Battery Storage

1 .S t o r age Temperature and Humidity

( S h o rt - t e r m )

In a dry location with low humidity (Max.85%), no corrosive gases, at a
t e m p e rature range of -20ºC to 45ºC.
In a location where humidity is extremely high or with temper a t u r e
b e l ow -20ºC or above 45ºC, the metallic parts of battery will rust and
result in electrolyte leakage due to expansion or contraction in part s
composed of organic materi a l s.

2 .Long-term Storage (2 ye a rs ,-20ºC to 35ºC)

As long-term storage can accelerate battery self-discharge and lead to
the deactivation of reactants, locations where the temperature ra n g e s

b e t ween 10ºC and 30ºC are suitable for long-term stora g e.

When charge for the first time after long-term stora g e, deactivation of
reactants may have led to increased battery voltage and decreased

b a t t e ry capacity.Restore such batteries to original perf o rmance through

repeating sev e ral cycles of charge and discharge.

When storing battery for more than 1 y e a r, charge at least once a y e a r

to prevent leakage and deteri o ration in perf o rmance due to self­d i s c h a r g e.When using a rapid charger of voltage detection type, carry
out charge and discharge at least once ev e ry 6 months.

39

N o t e :

To get the best perf o rm a n c e, charge your battery for more than 12

hours at the first time after unpacking, and carry out 3 cycles of charge

and discharge under proper conditions.
