5 Use of battery
A rechargeable lithium-ion battery is used in this device. Please operate as described below.
1) Charge the battery
a. Connect adapter to the "DC IN" socket of this device.
b. Plug the power adapter into an AC power outlet.
· When charging starts the charging indicator light glows red.
· When charging is finished, the indicator light turns green.
· Charging usually takes 4-6 hours depending on the operating environment.
2) Important points
a. The charging time should not be shorter than 12 hours before the first use. This can help to
extend the average life of the battery.
b. If the ambient temperature is too high, the battery may not be able to work since the device
has protective safety features.
c. Please remove the battery from the main unit if this device will not be used for an extended
time. Avoid keeping the battery in the main unit for a long time since a weak current will flow
out continuously, leading to excess battery discharge. In some cases, the battery may be
unusable even when it is recharged.
d. If the battery is not fully charged, the picture may become unstable. Please make sure that the
battery is fully charged before using the device.
Page 13
e. The battery should be stored at a temperature of 15-25°C. Please do not expose the battery to
excessively low or high temperatures. Please do not store the battery in a dusty environment.
f. If the battery is to be stored for a long time, it is recommended to charge/discharge the battery
once every year. Use the battery in the main unit until it is discharged. Then, recharge the
battery and store it.
g. If the battery cannot be charged or the playing time is very short, it means that the service life
of the battery has expired. It is necessary to replace it with a new battery. (Please follow the
battery replacement instructions.
ATTENTION: Only a battery with the same specifications designated by SI
can be used. To do otherwise can be dangerous.
3) Replacing the lithium-ion battery
To replace the lithium-ion battery, please disassemble and install the parts as shown below.
Page 14
4) Special reminders:
Because of the intrinsic properties of lithium-ion batteries, please note the following:
a. When disposing of a defective or old battery, please apply adhesive tape to the terminals and
dispose of the battery according to local regulations.
b. In order to prolong the service life of the battery, please do not charge the battery frequently in
an intermittent way. The number of charging cycles has significant influence on the service life
of the battery.
c. Charging will cause slight heating, which is considered normal.
d. If the temperature in the charging environment is too high, the battery will not become fully
charged. Please do not charge the battery at an excessively high ambient temperature. It is
preferred to charge the battery at an ambient temperature of 10-30°C.
e. In normal storage, the capacity of the lithium-ion battery will decrease naturally over time. As a
result, the playing time will be shortened.
f. The capacity of the lithium-ion battery will decrease gradually as the number of charging cycles
increases. As a result, the playing time will be shortened.
g. The capacity of the lithium-ion battery will decrease gradually along with a drop in ambient
temperature. As a result, the playing time will be shortened.
The aforementioned consumptions are normal consumptions of the lithium-ion battery. It is
recommended that the user charge the battery when it is nearly discharged in order to extend the
service life of the lithium-ion battery.
