Power Supply  
About Rechargeable Battery Pack  
Your portable DVD player comes with a lithium ion rechargeable battery that attaches  
to the bottom of the player. Your new battery should be fully charged before it is used  
for the first time. Charging time is normally about 5 hours. A fully charged battery  
delivers about 3 hours of use, but playing time varies from disc to disc. We  
recommend you only charge the battery when the battery is down to its last hour of  
charge or completely out of power. Unnecessary charging of the Battery Pack will  
reduce service life. If the battery is not used it will automatically discharge gradually  
within one month.  
If you don’t plan on using the battery for an extended period of time, discharge the  
battery and keep it in a dry and cool place.  
If the battery loses power during play, stop playing the DVD, otherwise damage may  
occur.  
Working conditions and precautions for the battery  
New batteries should be fully charged before initial use.  
Battery should only be used and charged when temperatures are between 32-95F.  
Never put the battery in fire or water.  
Do not expose the battery to high temperatures or store in hot, sunny places.  
Maintain well-ventilated conditions around the product, avoiding heat. Don’t put  
the product on bed, sofa or anything that may block ventilation to the product.  
Don’t use metal to link positive pole to negative.  
Do not open the battery.  
Do not leave battery attached when using alternative power source.  
Never charge the battery for more than 8 hours. Detach battery immediately after  
charging is complete. When charging the battery pack, the light on the battery will  
turn red, when the charging is complete, the light will turn green.  
Detach battery when not in use.

Power Supply  
Attaching The Battery Pack  
The player’s power is supplied via the switching power adapter or the battery pack,  
which are provided with the player. Steps for connecting the battery pack to the player  
are as follows:  
Attaching the Battery Pack  
Turn the player upside down on a smooth, clean  
surface. Direct the battery so that the battery  
contacts and the five plastic tabs are aligned with  
the matching contacts and tab recesses on the

Lock the Battery Pack  
With one hand on the player to prevent it from  
moving, push the battery pack on to the player  
then slide the Battery Pack toward the front of  
the Player until you hear it click and lock into  
place.  
Charging The Battery Pack  
Plug the Power Adapter into the Player’s DC-IN  
12 V Jack, which is located on Right Side of the  
player, and then plug the other end of the Power  
Cord into a household wall Power Outlet.  
See the right figure.  
Detaching The Battery Pack  
If the player is not going to be used for a long period of time, we recommend that you  
detach the Battery Pack. Even if the unit is powered down, the unit is still consuming  
some power in STANDBY mode. This could lead to discharging the battery.  
Make sure the power is turned off before detaching the Battery Pack. After detaching  
the battery pack, take care when handling the unit.  
1. Hold player in position so it doesn’t slide.  
Press the tab towards the front of the unit and hold
