Polaroid PDV-1042M User Manual

- 16 - 

Your portable DVD player comes with a lithium ion rechargeable battery that attaches 

to the bottom of the player. Your new battery should be fully charged before it is used 

for the first time. Charging time is normally about 5 hours. A fully charged battery 

delivers about 3 hours of use, but playing time varies from disc to disc.  We 

recommend you only charge the battery when the battery is down to its last hour of 

charge or completely out of power. Unnecessary charging of the Battery Pack will 

reduce service life.    If the battery is not used it will automatically discharge gradually 

within one month.   

 
 
 
 

 

If you don’t plan on using the battery for an extended period of time, discharge the 

battery and keep it in a dry and cool place.   

If the battery loses power during play, stop playing the DVD, otherwise damage may 

occur. 

 
•  New batteries should be fully charged before initial use.

 

•  Battery should only be used and charged when temperatures are between 32-95F.   
•  Never put the battery in fire or water. 
•  Do not expose the battery to high temperatures or store in hot, sunny places. 
•  Maintain well-ventilated conditions around the product, avoiding heat. Don’t put 

the product on bed, sofa or anything that may block ventilation to the product. 

•  Don’t use metal to link positive pole to negative.   
•  Do not open the battery. 
•  Do not leave battery attached when using alternative power source.   
•  Never charge the battery for more than 8 hours. Detach battery immediately after 

charging is complete. When charging the battery pack, the light on the battery will 

turn red, when the charging is complete, the light will turn green.
