ECO-PLUS NiMH battery information (for versions supplied with the rechargeable ECO-PLUS NiMH battery AY 3363)

Recharging works only on players supplied with the rechargeable ECO-PLUS NiMH battery AY 3363.

Recharging the ECO-PLUS NiMH battery on board

1. Insert the rechargeable ECO-PLUS NiMH battery AY 3363. 2. Connect the mains adapter to the 4.5V DC socket of the player and then to the wall socket.

• Recharging stops after a maximum of 7 hours, or when you start playback. When the battery is fully recharged, FULL appears in the display.

Notes: - It is normal for the batteries to become warm during recharging.

• If the batteries become too warm, recharging will be interrupted for approximately 30 minutes.
• To ensure proper recharging on board, take care that contacts are clean.
• Use only the ECO-PLUS NiMH battery AY 3363.

Handling instructions

• Recharging already charged or half-charged batteries will shorten their lifetime. We therefore recommend that you let the rechargeable ECO-PLUS NiMH battery run till it is completely empty before you recharge it.
• To avoid a short circuit, do not let the battery touch any metal object.
• If the battery becomes empty soon after recharging, then either its contacts are dirty or it has reached the end of its lifetime.

Mains adapter (supplied or optionally available)

Use only the AY 3170 adapter (4.5 V / 300 mA direct current, positive pole to the center pin). Any other product may damage the player.
