Tivoli Audio ISONGBOOK - Manual (Page 13)

Figure 11
An “E” (“Empty”) on the LCD represents batteries which are just about depleted 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. (Figure 11) If the display shows “E” and alkaline
batteries are replaced while the iSongBook is On, the “E” will reappear on the LCD 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 iSongBook Off.
Other Important Battery Notes:
- Rechargeable batteries that are brand new, or have not been used in a long time, require
conditioning (5–6 full charge/discharge cycles) before lengthy playback time is realized.
Higher mA valves will yield longer playback time but will also require a longer charge time.
- Remove all of the batteries if the iSongBook 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 iSongBook is OFF.
- The battery orientation should match the illustration in the battery compartment.
Reception
Buildings made with concrete, steel, or aluminum siding will hinder reception. Household appliances,
electric blankets, computers, CD players, microwave ovens, and other electronic devices can also
adversely affect reception or inject noise. If you experience this, move the iSongBook further from
the offending device or plug it into an electrical outlet not shared by another device. Metal surfaces
may hinder AM reception. For more reception advice, please refer to “FM Antenna” under the
“Guide to Features (Rear Panel)”.
Placement
Place the unit on a fl at, stable surface. The iSongBook is shielded and may be used in close
proximity to a computer monitor or television set.
Note: For your own safety and to protect the iSongBook from accidental damage, route all audio
and power cables where they will not be tripped over.
Cleaning
Never use any harsh cleansers or solvents on your iSongBook. The iSongBook is designed to be
portable and weather-resistant, but it is not indestructible or weather proof. Also note the LCD
can be affected by hot and cold temperatures.
