Frequently Asked Questions C-6
I have to recharge the battery quite often. Is there anything I can do to
make it last longer?
Generally, any operation requiring the player to access the hard disk uses
battery power. Consequently, filling your player to capacity is not
recommended. However, some operations consume more battery power:
❍ a long backlight timeout setting. A shorter timeout conserves battery power.
❍ a high contrast setting. Position the player so that you can read the display
without using a high contrast setting.
❍ too much use of fast forward/reverse.
❍ turning the player on/off too many times.
❍ prolonged use at high volumes.
For battery charging and handling instructions, see "Charging the Battery" on
page 2-1.
