CHAPTER FOUR

The RamKeeper Power

RamKeeper can get its power from three sources: the wall
transformer, the Gel/Cell battery, or the IIGS power
supply.

The wall transformer is the primary power source. In the
case of a power failure, however, the RamKeeper will get
its energy from the Gel/Cell battery until the power
failure is over. One battery pack will supply the
RamKeeper with power for about 6 hours. This length
will of course vary according to the number of RAM cards
connected to the RamKeeper and their individual
consumption.

If there is no power coming from either the wall
transformer or the battery, RamKeeper will get its power
from the IIGS (when the IIGS is turned on). This means
you will lose all contents of

when you power

down.

Two L.E.D.s on the left edge of the RamKeeper indicate
the power status of the card.
