tery or a rechargeable battery, the battery
indicatorwill notcorrectlydisplaythe remain-

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.

indicator may increase or decrease, de-
pending on the operation being performed.

crease when the unit switches to the al-
kaline battery.
