Your electronic dictionary has a built-in lithium-ion battery that is not charged upon purchase. Charge the battery before first use.

Before Charging:

• Use the procedure described in this manual to charge the battery.

This may mean that an an internal error has occurred. Try turning the power on and off again, and charging the battery. If this does not eliminate the problem, contact your original retailer or authorized service center.
