Power management
Long battery life is important, so as well as being economical on battery power and having an auto power feature, power management
features ensure 5V output can be maintained on the colour lines. The ILDA Gem Pocket has sophisticated power management to provide
good performance in all of these aspects.
A brief press of the off button will close the ILDA Gem Pocket down (note power will turn off as the button is released).
The ILDA Gem Pocket uses low power circuitry to maintain long battery life and includes an auto power down feature which
will automatically turn off the unit to conserve battery power after operating for approximately 10 mins. without any button
being pressed.
To ensure that the output of the colour lines are maintained at a full 5v a battery monitoring circuit will prevent the ILDA Gem
Pocket from starting if the battery voltage is too low to achieve 5v output. Therefore upon pressing the power button to turn
the unit on, if there is no output then it is recommended to replace the battery.
Any 9v PP3 battery will work but for long life an alkaline or lithium battery is advised. Rechargable Ni-Cd or Ni-Mh types can
be used but bear in mind they do not retain power well when stored, so you may come to use your ILDA Gem Pocket to find
the battery depleted and therefore unable to start.
Changing the battery
Remove the protective rubber boot (if fitted) and slide off the battery cover at the lower end of the unit on the underside
opposite the DB25 connector. Remove the old battery and replace with a PP3 alkaline or Lithium type. Ensure the battery
clip is attached firmly and stow the battery in the compartment before replacing the cover and protective rubber boot.

While we agree the ILDA Gem Pocket is a very useful tool we regret that it cannot, at this time, dispense coffee.
