Precautions for Battery Pack Operation

Operation of the battery pack

■ 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.
■ 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 becomes hot after use and the portable DVD player also becomes hot during use. This is not malfunction.
■ 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.
■ 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 15° and 25°. Avoid storing it under extremely low temperatures, in a place with high temperature and high humidity or in a place subject to

soot, etc.

■ When the battery pack is stored for a long period, at least once an year it is recommended to discharge it fully on the portable DVD player, recharge it fully and store it again.

Service life and disposal

■ When the charging time or available operation time becomes extremely short, the battery may be reaching the end of its life. The battery pack can be used for about 300 cycles of 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.

Caution:

■ Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
