Before first use, fully charge the built-in rechargeable battery. Connect the AC power adapter to the DC IN port on the main DVD player unit and plug it into a standard wall outlet. The charging indicator light will illuminate. Once fully charged, the light may change color or turn off, depending on the model. A full charge typically takes several hours.

To use the dual screen feature, connect the secondary screen to the main DVD player unit using the provided AV cable. Locate the AV OUT port on the main unit and the AV IN port on the secondary screen. Ensure the connection is secure.
