This chapter describes how to connect the Rio Karma and the Rio Karma docking station to 

power adapters, USB cables, and additional accessories. Basic connections include:

Connect the AC power adapter to the DC IN port on the 

 or the 

. The power adapter recharges the battery from 0% capacity to 60-70% 

capacity within two hours.

1 Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.

2 Connect the AC adapter to the docking station.

3 Place the Rio Karma in the docking station.

The Rio Karma uses a built-in lithium-ion rechargable battery that lasts many 

hours per charge. Lithium-ion batteries drain at a very slow rate even when they 

are not being used. If you have not used your Rio Karma in a long period of time 

you will need to recharge the battery.

The battery should be charged for at least five hours during its initial charge. The 

player will recharge anytime the AC adapter is plugged into the player or the Rio 

Karma is placed in the docking station and the docking station is connected to the 

AC adapter. The Rio Karma may be left in the docking station for extended periods 

of time without fear that the Rio Karma’s lithium-ion battery will be overcharged.
