charger.
After about 1.5 hours, charging ends and
the lamp turns off. (To get maximum
performance from battery, continue
charging it for another hour after the
lamp turns off.)
Because of the fast charging rate of the
battery charger, the battery may feel hot
temporarily while it is being charged or
right after charging is completed. In this
case, remove the battery five minuetes
after the lamp turns off.
A fully-charged battery should power
consecutive playback for about 29 hours
before you need to recharge it.
You can charge the battery 300 times.
2 Open the rechargeable battery
compartment lid and insert the charged
battery with correct polarity.
To use a dry battery, insert one LR6 (size
AA) alkaline dry battery (not supplied)
into the supplied dry battery case, and
attach the battery case to the player.
3 Connect the supplied headphones to the
remote control.
Connect the remote control to i jack of
the player.
Slide HOLD on the remote control and
the player to the direction of the arrow
shown in the illustration.
