NOTE: When the DVD player is used with the battery as a power
source, ensure that the battery has been charged for at least
eight hours prior to connecting it to the DVD player.
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 properly. For longer periods of storage,
please recharge the battery at least once every two months to main-
tain the battery in its best condition. 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 dehumidifying agent.
Each full recharge takes approximately five-hours and one full charge
can power the player for approximately 3 hours.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.
Precautions related to Battery Recharge:
1.Once the battery has been fully spent, please immediately recharge
the battery (regardless of whether you plan to use battery power
again soon) in order to maximize battery life.
2.To charge the battery, please connect the power jack directly into
the VBP500 and leave the POWER switch in the off position.

with the player to recharge your batteries.

tures drop below 50

3.Please remove battery from the player and store properly if the player
is not to be used for an extended period of time. For periods of two
months or more, please recharge the battery at least once every
two months to avoid irreparable damage to the battery. If the battery
left attached to the player for an extended period, please recharge
the battery at least once every two weeks.
