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 suggested by Eton Corporation.

The backlight will remain illuminated when using the AC adapter/charger.

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.

Note in the display that the battery symbol’s segments continuously activate from left to right during charging. Battery charging terminates once the set charge time has been reached.

BATTERY CHARGING TIME CHART

The charging times in the chart are based on the following formula: Charging hours = battery capacity (in milliamp hours) / 100mA (the charging current).
