Charging the Battery
When the battery charge is low, the BAT LED changes from solid green to yellow and then red, depending on
the remaining charge (see “Battery LED” on page 11). When the receiver is connected to an external power
source, the battery charges whether the receiver is turned on or off.
To charge the battery:
1. Connect the supplied USB 2.0 cable to the receiver’s USB port.
2. Connect the USB cable to the USB port of the power adapter.
3. Plug the power adapter into an available outlet to fully charge the battery. The time to charge the battery
depends on whether the unit is on or off, and if current is supplied from an external charger. (You cannot
over charge the battery; the battery stop charging when it is full.)
The BAT LED blinks as the battery charges.
Power Accessories
The USB 2.0 port of the GCX2 powers and charges the internal battery. The GCX2 is compatible with standard
USB power accessories used with consumer electronic devices. USB power accessories can be sourced locally
as long as USB power standards are met.
Insufficient Power
If the battery becomes fully discharged and an external power supply is not connected, the receiver will shut
down and automatically save recorded files. To avoid disruptions, check the BAT LED on the display panel for
the battery charge status. See “Battery LED” on page 11 for more information.
If the receiver shuts down due to insufficient power, the receiver and all communication ports become
deactivated.
To restore power to your receiver and turn it back on, do one or all of the following:
•
Recharge the battery.
•
Make sure the USB cable is correctly connected to the receiver’s port.
