< How to read the battery indicator >
When the battery is completely dis-
charged, the whole battery indicator will
flash. Recharge the battery or replace the
alkaline battery with a new one.
When the battery has run completely out,
“BATT EMPTY” (main unit) and “Lo BATT”
(remote control unit) will appear. Then, the
power will be disconnected automatically.
Notes:
When you are using the unit with a re-
chargeable battery and an alkaline battery
and you want to check the remaining ca-
pacity of the battery, the remaining battery
charge display may not be stable for about
20 seconds after the power is first turned
on.
When the AC adaptor included with this
unit or a separately available car adaptor
is used, the battery indicator will not be
shown.
The number of bars shown in the battery
indicator may increase or decrease, de-
pending on the operation being per-
formed. This is normal.
When the rechargeable battery and the
alkaline battery are used at the same time,
the rechargeable battery is used first, and
then the alkaline battery.
Since the battery indicator shows the re-
maining amount of the particular battery
being used, the number of bars will in-
crease when the unit switches to the alka-
line battery.
