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 E5 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 suggested
by Eton Corporation.
The backlight will remain illuminated when using the AC
adapter/charger.

CHARGING NI-MH BATTERIES IN THE E-5

With its included AC adapter/charger connected, the E-5 internally
recharges 4 Ni-MH (nickel-metal-hydride) rechargeable batteries. Note
that the E-5 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.
