Auto motion) and operating environment. Motion playback stops after 1 track. You cannot continue
playing tracks together with motion.
Notes
The playback times on the table may differ, depending on surrounding temperatures, operating
conditions, type of music files, and type of motion.
The playback times on the table are valid when the player is used at 25 °C (77 °F). The battery
life will be shorter in lower temperatures, when playing either music or music with motion.
When you use the player after a long interval, the playback time may be shorter than expected,
because the battery cannot yet be charged to its full capacity. After the battery is fully
discharged and charged several times, it can be charged to its full capacity.
If the playback time becomes about half of the normal length of time, even if it is charged
sufficiently, the useful life of the battery has run out. Replace the battery with a new one.
