■ Checking the remaining
amount of battery charge
The remaining amount of battery charge is
shown by the battery indicator ( )
during operation.
< How to read the battery indicator >
● When the battery is completely dis-
charged, the whole battery indicator will
flash. Recharge the battery or replace
the alkaline batteries with new ones.
● When the battery has completely run
out, “BATT EMPTY” (main unit) and “Lo
BATT” (remote control unit) will appear.
The power will be disconnected auto-
matically.
Notes:
● When the AC adaptor included with this
unit or an optionally available car adap-
tor is used, the battery indicator will not
be shown.
● The number of bars shown in the bat-
tery indicator may increase or
decrease, depending on the operation
being performed. This is normal.
● When the rechargeable battery and the
alkaline batteries are used at the same
time, the rechargeable battery is used
first, and then the alkaline batteries.
Since the battery indicator shows the
remaining amount of the particular bat-
tery being used, the number of bars will
increase when the unit switches to the
alkaline batteries.
■ To prevent the unit from
being operated by mistake
To prevent accidental operation, use the
hold function.
Move the HOLD switch to the safety posi-
tion (direction indicated by the arrow).
● When the unit is in the "hold" mode,
pressing the buttons will have no effect.
● To cancel the hold mode, move the
HOLD switch away from the safety
position (the opposite direction of the
arrow).
If the hold function is active while the
power is turned off, the power cannot be
turned on by mistake and the battery will
not be accidentally drained.
