are installed. They will NOT re-charge. Instead, they may explode,
jam in the battery tube or leak corrosive chemicals.
See section, 8.6, BATTERY CHARGER, for further information regarding
the use of HUNTER's battery charger.
CONTINUOUS CONNECTION
HUNTER can be powered permanently from the charger by simply leaving
the unit connected. In this mode, the rechargeable cells will be kept
'topped up' by the charger despite the continuous current drain, Of
course, a fully discharged battery will take longer to recover than
if HUNTER is powered down.
Auto Timeout
To conserve battery life, HUNTER will automatically switch off after
a period of inactivity. A warning bleep is emitted every 2.1/2
minutes to remind the user that HUNTER is turned on. This timeout
does not operate in Terminal Emulation (see section 6.8). The
timeout value can be modified using POWER in Basic (see section
5. 17.7) and has a default value of 5 minutes.
