GETTING STARTED
SELECTING THE TYPE Of POWER SUPPLY
(BATTERY/AC)
Each time you are about to switch on the system, consider
which type of power supply you wish to use:
a) AC (through the AC adapter); the batteries will
automatically be charged if they have reached a certain
level of discharge
b) battery supply
Your decision should be based on the following points:
a) AC supply: connect the system to an AC outlet whenever
there is one available.
AC supply with simultaneous charging of the batteries:
if, when operating on batteries, the indicator light
beside the display shows that the batteries have become
discharged, connect the system as soon as possible to
an AC outlet through the AC adapter, powering the
system and recharging the batteries at the same time.
b) Battery supply: if you are travelling, or you find
yourself in places where there is no AC outlet, you can
run your system
independently on the rechargeable
batteries.
Battery operation entails certain time limits, and it is
therefore advisable to plan your use of the system in
advance when you intend to run it on batteries (this is
explained in detail in Chapter 7).
Each time you switch off after using the batteries, you
should consider whether they need to be recharged.
