RoamerTime
has the option to be powered by 6x AA batteries fitted in the rear battery
compartment.
1.5v alkaline or 1.2v rechargeable batteries may be used. Batteries of 1800maH or better are
recommended. With a fresh set of 1800maH batteries the unit will operate for more than 15
hours with both displays visible at their minimum brightness.
If batteries are fitted and external power is also present, the external power source is used to
power the unit and the batteries are not used – but the batteries will power the unit, without
interruption, if there are is a failure in the external power.
If the unit is running on battery power, the colon in the clock display will flash twice per
second.
The unit quickly flashes the entire display once every second when the battery voltage is low.
If the battery voltage falls further, the display will go to minimum brightness and the
batteries should be changed as soon as possible. The batteries should be changed
immediately if the bottom display shows "batt" at any time.
