- When using the rechargeable battery for the first time or after several months of non-use, fully charge it first.

- To avoid the risk of fire, do not charge longer than 12 hours.

- Overcharging will reduce the battery life.

- The rechargeable battery is a consumable item and its capacity will decrease gradually.

- To prolong the life of your battery, use the fully charged battery until it is completely discharged, and then fully charge it again before use. If you charge the battery that is not completely drained, the battery operating time will decrease. In this case, fully cycle (fully charge and then fully discharge) the battery several times.

- If you connect the player through a USB hub, the connection may be unstable. Please connect the player to the computer directly.
