III. Batteries & Battery Charger
A Lithium Ion rechargeable battery or a compartment that
accommodates three standard AA batteries powers your CLARION
Processor. The rechargeable battery provides an average of ten to
twelve hours of use, depending on your unique program. Three
standard AA alkaline batteries may also be used. Actual use time
will vary depending on the type of sound processing program you
use.
When you are not using your Processor, it should be turned off;
otherwise, the battery will continue to drain. To ensure continuous
operation of your CLARION System throughout the day, you are
provided with one battery charger, four rechargeable batteries and
one battery compartment for use with AA batteries.
NOTE : Remove battery pack when equipment is not likely to be
used for an extended period of time.
To prevent intermittent operation of the Processor, the battery
contacts on the battery and on the Processor should be kept free from
dirt and dust. Clean the contacts at least once a month, using an
alcohol swab.
If the battery is dropped, inspect it for evidence of damage or
cracking. If any evidence of damage is seen, the battery should be
replaced.
WARNING: Batteries may explode if disposed of in fire. To
prevent injury or burns, do not allow metal objects, such as keys or
coins, to contact or short circuit the battery terminals. Battery covers
are provided for use when carrying rechargeable batteries or the AA
battery compartment. The battery covers will protect the battery.
Battery Replacement

!" Turn the Processor off (o).
