Each full recharge takes approximately five-hours and one full charge can provide power to the player for up to 3 hours. During recharge, the red indicator in the front of the unit will stay on. Once fully recharged, the indicator will turn off. At this point you can remove the wall plug and stop charging.

Precautions related to Battery Recharge:

1. Once the battery is fully discharged, immediately recharge (regardless of whether you plan to use battery or not) in order to maximize battery life.
2. To charge the battery, please connect the power jack directly into the unit. During recharge, the red indicator will stay on. Once fully recharged, the red light will turn off. At this point you may remove the wall plug and stop charging.
