When the battery is completely

battery with a new one.

When the battery has run completely out,
"Batt
EMPTY’ (main unit) and “Lo
BATT
(remote control unit) will appear. Then, the
power will be disconnected automatically.
Notes:
When usina the unit with an alkaline bat-
tery or a rechargeable battery, the battery
indicatorwill notcorrectlydisplaythe remain-
ing capacity for approximately 20 seconds
after the power has been turned on.
When the AC adaptor included with this unit
or a separately available car adaptor is
used, the battery indicatorwill not be shown.
The number of bars shown in the battery
indicator may increase or decrease, de-
pending on the operation being performed.
This is normal.
When the rechargeable battery and the al-
kaline battery are used at the same time,
the rechargeable battery is used first, then
the alkaline battery.
Since the battery indicator shows the re-
maining amount of the particular battery
being used, the number of bars will in-
crease when the unit switches to the al-
kaline battery.
