15. Power management features.


Now that you have learned how to use your PLEXTALK for playback

operations, there are several features related to power management that

you may find helpful to know about. PLEXTALK will warn you when the

battery charge is becoming low. It also has an automatic power off

function a sleep timer and the ability to power itself on at specified times.
This chapter shows you how these features work.

15.1. Battery low warning.

When PLEXTALK is operating on battery power and the power level drops
to a level where it needs to be recharged, PLEXTALK will say "Low battery.

Please plug in AC adaptor". This message may be repeated several times.

If you wish to continue to use PLEXTALK, you need to plug in the AC

adaptor and switch on the mains power. If you do not plug in the AC

adaptor, PLEXTALK will shut down automatically when the battery level
drops below a certain point.

CAUTION: If the battery power fails during operations such as CD backup,

disc finalisation or disc erasing, the media may become damaged or

unusable.

15.2. Automatic power off function.

In order to save battery power, PLEXTALK will automatically shut down

after 30 minutes of inactivity. Before shutting down, PLEXTALK will give
you a 1 minute warning followed by a 15 second warning. After this 15

seconds, PLEXTALK will shut itself down automatically.

If you do not want PLEXTALK to shut down during this warning period,

just carry out one of the operating functions, for example, start playback,
start recording or access the menu system. PLEXTALK can then be left for

a further 30 minutes of inactivity before the same warning will be spoken

again.
