K. Rechargeable Battery Installation and Use The player utilizes a set of long-life Ni-Mh batteries for a portable power supply. Ni-MH batteries feature high storage capacity and low level of degradation. This means the Ni-MH batteries do not have "Memory Effect" and thus can be recharged safely regardless of whether the battery is fully or only partially discharged. Please fully charge the battery prior to first use. NOTE: When the DVD player is used with the battery as a power source, ensure that the battery has been charged for at least eight hours prior to connecting it to the DVD player. If you plan not to use the battery for an extended period of time (one week or longer), we recommend that you first fully charge the battery and store it away properly. For longer periods of storage, please recharge the battery at least once every two months to maintain the battery in optimum condition. Under no circumstances short the battery terminals, store the battery in a metal container, or leave the battery in a humid or damp environment. Ideally, store the battery in an airtight container with desiccant or other dehumidifying agent. Each full recharge takes approximately five-hours and one full charge can provide power to the player for approximately 3 hours. During recharge, the red indicator will stay on. Once fully recharged, the red light will turn off. At this point you may remove the wall plug and stop charging. Precautions related to Battery Recharge: 1. Once the battery is fully discharged, immediately recharge (re- gardless of whether you plan to use battery or not) in order to maximize battery life. 2. To charge the battery, please connect the power jack directly into the DVD player and leave the POWER switch in the off position. 33
