least eight hours prior to connecting it to the DVD player.

In certain situations connecting a low charged battery to

the DVD can result in software lock up.

If you plan to not use the battery for an extended period

of time (say, one week or longer), we recommend that

you first fully charge the battery and store it away prop-

erly. For longer periods of storage, please recharge the

battery at least once every two months to maintain the

battery in its best condition.

Rechargeable Battery Installation and

Use

The player could utilizes a set of long-life NiMH batteries

for portable power supply. The NiMH battery pack is spe-

cially designed for your player, please consult your dealer

for purchasing the battery pack. NiMH batteries feature

high storage capacity and low level of degradation. The

latter means the NiMH batteries doesn’t have “Memory

Effect” and thus can be recharged safely regardless of

whether the battery is fully or only partially spent.

Please under no circumstances short out the battery, 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 dehumidify-

ing agent.

The NiMH battery may be recharged approximately 300

times. Each full recharge takes up to three-hours and one

full charge can provide power the player for around 3

hours.

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

Precautions related to Battery Re-

charge:

AC Adapter/charger input

Charging indicator

1. Once the battery has been fully spent, please im-

mediately recharge the battery (regardless of

whether you plan to use battery power again soon)

in order to maximize battery life.

During recharge, the light next to the DC power input will

light up red.

Once fully recharged, the light will turn green. At this point

you may remove the wall plug and cease charging. Dur-

ing recharge, the batteries will become warm.

2. To charge the battery, please connect the power

jack directly into the battery casing. Initially, a red

light should light up. Once fully charged, this light

will turn green and charging operations may cease

(see the above picture).

You can use the battery pack as the power source of the

player while the battery is being charged. In this special

situation, the charging time will increased and please keep

the set under room temperature under 77 °F.

3. An alternate way to charge your battery is to in-

stall the battery in your player and plug the player

into a wall outlet. This way you will be able to re-

charge the battery while enjoying the player.

Please note that when the AC power supply jack is

plugged directly into the player and not the battery

pack, the battery pack is not being recharged.

13 User Precautions and Simple Maintenance

Storage

Please do not store your player in any of the fol-

lowing conditions (1) direct sunlight; (2) high tem-

perature environment; (3) near any heat source.

Similarly, please keep the player out of reach of

small children.

Your DVD player is an extremely precise

AV broadcast system. Abiding by the fol-

lowing suggestions will help maintain your

player in top working order and avoid

safety problems.

User Precautions and

Simple Maintenance

Vibration

The player compensates for slight jolts and vibra-

tions during play. However, please do not expose

the player to significant vibration during play. Dur-

ing play, the player’s base will become warm and is

nothing to be concerned about. However, please

avoid using the player on a warm or hot surface

(e.g., working amplifier, electric blanket, etc.).

Condensation

Moving your player from a cold environment to a

warm one will often result in moisture condensa-

tion. Under such conditions, wait at least one hour

before using your player.

13 User Precautions and Simple Maintenance

Power Surge

Metal Contact Point

Keep the metal contact points on your player clear

of dust, grime, and other contaminants. Remove

contaminants with a clean cotton swab dabbed with

a good electronics-safe solvent. Make sure that cot-

ton bits do not become entangled or stuck on con-

tact points.

During electrical storms, remove the AC transformer

from your wall socket to avoid electrical spikes that

could damage sensitive electronics. In exception-

ally dry conditions, you should gently touch the

player with your bare finger prior to use to dissipate

any built-up static electricity.

Scratches

Dust

Avoid storing your player alongside hard or sharp

objects to avoid damaging player surfaces. If the

player surface is soiled, use a soft rag and a small

amount of mild solvent to wipe it clean. Do not use

alcohol, because it will damage surface coatings.

Avoid using your player in windy / dusty conditions

such as on the beach or outdoors during inclement

weather.

Laser Head

The laser reader head is an exceptionally fragile

component and all contact should be avoided. There

should be no need to clean the head, even with a

laser head cleaner. There is the additional danger

that filaments separated from such laser head clean-

ers can damage the head afterwards during high

speed play operation.

Signal and Power Cables

Do not place unnecessary strain or tension on sig-

nal or power cables. When unplugging cables, hold

firmly by the base (and not the cable wire). When

storing, do not bend cables too tightly.
