Charging:
The SongBook100’s internal charger will charge six “C” NiMH or NiCad batteries (not included)
if the external power supply is connected, the Batteries/Charger switch is correctly set, and
the SongBook100 is switched Off. All six NiMH/NiCad batteries must be correctly installed for
charging to take place. While charging, the LCD will show the battery icon with the signal bars
cycling. It’s normal for the battery compartment to become warm while the batteries are charging.
The SongBook100 operates strictly from battery power alone when the AC adapter is not
connected and all six batteries are correctly installed.
The SongBook100 operates solely from the external power adapter whenever it is connected.
Installed rechargeable batteries do not receive a charge while the unit is operating from the
power supply, only when the SongBook100 is turned off.
The SongBook100 may be used with the AC adapter alone with no batteries installed inside.
The LCD will show battery strength momentarily whenever the SongBook100 source is changed.
The battery strength meter accuracy is approximate. Three bars represent full strength, two bars
represent roughly 50% strength, and one bar represents about 25% remaining strength. The
battery power meter will flash when the battery power is very low. When the SongBook100 is
Off but connected to the power supply, the display will show the battery charging status.
Battery charging time varies depending on the mA rating and the condition of the batteries.
Higher mA ratings yield longer playback time but require longer charging times.
Important Battery Notes:
•
When the SongBook100 is on battery power only, the alarm, sleep, and clock functions
cannot be engaged in order to conserve battery power. These functions will only operate
when using the included power supply due to the large amount of power that these
functions require.
• Remove all the batteries if the SongBook100 is not to be used for an extended period of time.
• Dispose of spent batteries according to your state/country’s regulations.
• Do
NOT mix battery types or different battery strengths.
• When the external power supply is plugged in and there are no batteries installed, the battery
power meter will show 3 full bars.
• Battery playback time varies depending on the volume level and the type of programming
(bass for example, requires more power).
• Brand new rechargeable batteries, or those not being used for an extended period, require
conditioning (4-5 full charge/discharge cycles) before average playback time is realized.
