CHARGING: The SongBook’s internal charger will charge the six NiMH or NiCAD batteries if
the adapter is connected, the Batteries/Charger switch is correctly set, and the SongBook is
switched Off. All six NiMH/NiCAD batteries must be correctly installed for charging to take
place. While charging, the LCD will show the battery icon with the signal bars cycling. This
will disappear from the display once the batteries have fully charged. It is normal for the battery
compartment and external power supply to become warm while the batteries are charging.
The SongBook operates solely from the external power adapter whenever it is connected.
Installed rechargeable batteries do not receive a charge while the unit is operating from the power
supply. The SongBook may be used with the AC adapter alone and no batteries installed.
The LCD will show battery strength whenever the SongBook is on. The battery strength meter
accuracy is approximate. Three bars represent full strength, two bars represent roughly 50%
strength, and one bar represents about 25% remaining strength. The signal strength meter
will show full power when there are no batteries installed and the unit is being operated using
the external power supply.
Figure 11 Figure 12
An “E” (“Empty”) on the LCD (Figure 11) represents batteries which are just about dead and
should be replaced if Alkaline, or charged if NiMH/NiCAD, within approximately 10 minutes
or the display will go blank and all memory settings will be lost. If the display shows “E” and
batteries are replaced while the SongBook is On, the “E” will reappear on the LCD (Figure 12)
after the batteries are replaced until the unit is switched Off and then turned back On to reset
the microprocessor. Batteries should be replaced with the SongBook Off.
OTHER IMPORTANT BATTERY NOTES:
• It may take 5-6 complete charge/recharge cycles for new rechargeable batteries to become
conditioned and for normal playback times to be realized.
• Remove all of the batteries if the SongBook is not to be used for an extended period of time.
• Dispose of spent batteries according to your state/country’s regulations.
• Do NOT mix battery types or different battery strengths.
• Change batteries while the SongBook is OFF.
• Total battery playback time depends on volume level and program material.
• Charging time may vary depending upon battery condition.
