TAKING CARE OF YOUR POCKETCOMM
The PocketComm can operate from rechargeable battery power, making your unit completely
portable. To install the batteries, depress the thumb notch in the center of battery compartment
cover and slide it down to the bottom of the pocketComm. Place new rechargeable batteries
according to the orientation marked in the compartment. Replace the cover and slide up until the
hook on the cover snaps into the latch.
Plug the AC charger to the wall outlet and the other end to the unit when it is OFF. Let it fully
charge for at least 6 hours.
When the PocketComm is fully charged, it will operate for about 8 hours of constant use. The
batteries will automatically recharge whenever the unit is plugged into the AC adapter. If the
batteries are not fully charged, you may receive a flashing message:
BATTERY LOW
If you use the PocketComm, and the batteries will not hold power for an hour, replace with new
rechargeable NiCad AAA batteries. The strength of the battery determines the length of time that
the Pocketcomm will work. It is suggested that you exercise your batteries in your PocketComm
at least once a month. That is, operate the unit on battery power until it needs recharging.
MAINTENANCE:
• Keep the PocketComm dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might
contain minerals that can corrode the internal electronic components.
• Use and store the PocketComm only in normal temperature environments. Extreme
temperatures can shorten the life of electronic components, damage the batteries,
distort and possibly melt plastic parts.
• Handle the pocketComm with care. Dropping it can cause internal working parts to
fail or break the outer housing.
• Keep the PocketComm away from dust and dirt, which can cause a premature wear
of parts.
