How is the TRAX Totalizer Powered?

The TRAX Totalizer is powered by a rechargeable lead gel, with optional 
solar panel.

For loop Totalizers with external power, the loop cable provided with the unit 
will contain a power jack. The battery charger supplied with the Totalizer 
should be plugged into this jack to supply power to the unit. To avoid damage 
to the Totalizer, only use the supplied battery charger.

The Totalizer contains a power saving feature that will blank out the 
screen if it has not been disturbed for several minutes. To bring the 
display back up, hit the DO or TAB key.

ON/OFF, DO and TAB Functions

An OFF/ON switch on top of the front panel is used to power the unit. A 
16-character display helps you select the proper entries. All options are 
clearly displayed, with the currently selected option flashing.

Two buttons are all that are used to move from menu to menu, and to select 
from the various options shown on the display. The TAB key is used to move 
the highlight until the option you want is flashing, and the DO key is used 
to implement it. If you move the highlight too far and overshoot the desired 
option, just keep pressing the TAB key until it is re-selected.
