CHARGING THE BATTERY The player is powered by a lithium-polymer battery. It has no memory effect and thus it can be recharged at any time regardless of whether it is fully or partially discharged. The unit can be recharged when it is powered on or off. When the power is off, it takes about 3 to 4 hours to fully charge the battery. When the power is on, it takes approximately ten hours to charge the battery. When fully charged, the battery can be used for about five hours. The unit can be charged using the AC/DC Adapter or the Vehicle DC Power Adapter. By AC/DC Adapter: Connect the AC/DC adapter to the DC IN 9-12V jack on the unit, then plug the adapter into a 120 VAC outlet. By Vehicle DC Power Adapter: Plug one end of the Vehicle DC Power Adapter into the DC IN 9-12V jack on the unit, then plug the other end into the vehicle DC accessory socket of a car. Do not charge the DVD player in the vehicle when the vehicle is not running. While the unit is charging, the red charge indicator will flash. When the battery is fully charged, the red charge indicator will be steadily lit. Use and Maintenance of the Rechargeable Battery 1. The working temperature of the rechargeable battery is 32 °F (0 °C) to 95 °F (35 °C). 2. Always unplug the unit when it is not being used or charged. 3. If you do not plan to use the unit for an extended period of time (one week or longer), we recommend that you fully charge the battery. For longer periods of storage, please recharge the battery at least once every two months to maintain the battery in optimum condition. 4. Once the battery is fully discharged, immediately recharge the battery (regardless of whether you plan to use the DVD player or not) in order to maximize battery life. 5. Recharge efficiency will degrade when temperatures drop below 50 °F (10°C) or exceed 95 °F (35 °C). 6. The battery compartment contains a temperature sensor. If the temperature exceeds 104 °F (40 °C) when charging the unit, the power will turn off automatically and the red charge indicator on the front of the unit will flash. In this case, disconnect the power adapter, wait for the unit to cool down, then reconnect the power adapter. 7. Heat is produced during charging. This is normal. 8. Do not subject the unit to strong impacts. 9. Keep the unit away from humidity and excessive heat. 10. The battery is not user serviceable. Please contact Audiovox in the event the battery will not charge. 7
