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).
