There are 2 ways to charge the battery in your PMP.
AC Adapter
The AC Adapter is the recommended way to charge your
PMP. This connection has the ability to provide enough
power to completely power your player during the use of
any feature and charge your battery at full rate.
USB Cable
The PMP has a ‘USB Power Only’ option. When a
USB Cable is plugged into the player and the other
end is plugged into a powered USB port on a PC, the
player gives you the option to enter ‘USB Power Only’
mode. Although this mode charges your battery, there
are features on the PMP that can draw larger amounts
of power and cause the battery to discharge. This
charging connection is limited to the amount of power
allowed to be drawn from a PC’s USB port.
A battery icon is present at the lower right of the display, indicating the
relative charge state of the battery (full charge, half charge, etc.). When
charging, the battery icon will be animated.
When the battery is depleted, a low battery warning will be displayed.
The unit will continue to operate for a short duration of time, at which
point it will automatically turn o . To avoid this shutdown, connect the
unit to a charging source (AC adapter or USB cable).
Battery playtime is highly dependent on how the PMP is used. Using
wireless or TV Out features will shorten playtime. Music o ers longer
playtimes than video. Minimizing usage of the LCD backlight will
increase playtime.
