BASIC TALAN OPERATIONS
Battery Charging and Power Control
The TALAN has a built-in battery charger. To charge the battery, simply plug the power adapter
into the AC adapter port while the battery is in the TALAN.
Expected charge time: 1.5 hours with the TALAN off (3+ hours with TALAN operational).
Expected run time (on battery): 4 hours.
Note: It is recommended that the TALAN battery be recharged on a regular basis during
extended periods of storage (3 months or more) to prevent damage to the battery.
Additionally, when storing TALAN for long periods (1 month or more), it is recommended that
the battery be removed from the unit and placed in the storage compartment in the case.
Storing the TALAN with the battery in the unit can deplete it more rapidly, potentially
shortening the life of the battery.
Updating the Software and Firmware

Software updates (in the form of a .FIX file) will be available on-line or by contacting REI at
sales@reiusa.net .

Place the downloaded .FIX file on a USB thumb drive.

Plug the thumb drive (with .FIX update file) into the TALAN.

Press the F6 (System) button and choose Update from the pop-up menu.

Highlight the .FIX file and press the OK button.

The TALAN will now update the software/firmware. Follow any on-screen directions as the
TALAN may need to be restarted for the update to take effect.

Remove the thumb drive and save the .FIX file as a back-up.
Note: Check REI’s website or the REI TSCM Newsletter for software update notification.

TALAN. Press the following key sequence to store the current screen image:
