IMPORTANT AC ADAPTER/CHARGER INFORMATION
AND PRECAUTIONS
It is normal for the AC adapter/charger to feel warm during use.
When the AC adapter/charger is connected, the G5 automatically
switches to the AC adapter/charger’s power and installed batteries are
not used.
Disconnect the AC adapter/charger from the power outlet if it is not
being used.
Remove the batteries when using the AC adapter/charger for long
periods of time.
Use only the included AC adapter/charger or one specifically sug-
gested by Etón Corporation.
The backlight will remain illuminated when using the AC adapter/char-
ger.
CHARGING Ni-MH BATTERIES IN THE G5
With its included AC adapter/charger connected, the G5 internally
recharges 4 Ni-MH (nickel-metal-hydride) rechargeable batteries. Note
that the G5 can still play while the batteries are charging and the
alarm functions will work.
CAUTION! Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries!
To charge batteries:
1. Install 4 NI-MH batteries, observing the polarity diagram inside the
battery compartment.
2. Connect the AC adapter/charger, first to the wall outlet, then to
the G5.
3. Assure that the G5 is turned off.
