PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY PACK OPERATION  
soot, etc..  
Operation of the battery pack  
When the battery pack is stored for  
a long period, at least once a year  
it is recommended to discharge it  
fully on the portable DVD player,  
recharge it fully and store it again.  
Charge the battery pack fully before  
using it for the first time.  
When the surrounding temperature  
is high, the battery pack may  
sometimes be unusable due to  
activation of protection circuitry.  
Service life and disposal  
When the charging time or available  
operation time becomes extremely  
short, the battery may reach the end  
of its life. The battery pack can be  
used for about 300 cycles of  
When the portable DVD player is  
powered from the battery pack and  
if the player has not been operated  
for about 10 minutes with the power  
switched on, the player will turn off  
automatically. (Auto power off)  
The battery pack and the portable  
DVD player become hot during use.  
This is not malfunction.  
recharging and operations.  
To dispose of a used battery pack,  
wrap a piece of tape around the  
terminal section and treat it in  
compliance with your local  
regulations.  
When the battery pack is not to be  
used for a long period, be sure to  
remove it from the portable DVD  
player. If the battery pack is left  
attached, continual flow of weak  
current renders it overdischarged  
and eventually unusable even when  
you try to charge it later.  
Caution:  
Danger of explosion if battery is  
incorrectly replaced.  
Replace only with the same or  
equivalent type.  
If the portable DVD player is switched  
on while the battery pack is not fully  
charged, the operation may  
sometimes be unstable. Be sure to  
charge the battery pack fully before  
use.  
Storage  
The battery pack should be stored  
under an surrounding temperature  
between 15and 25. Avoid storing  
it under extremely low temperatures,  
in a place with high temperature and  
high humidity or in a place subject to
