Charging
The iSongBook’s internal charger will “fast” charge the six NiMH or NiCAD batteries if the adapter is connected, the Batteries/Charger switch is correctly set, and the iSongBook is switched Off. Otherwise, the batteries receive a slow “trickle” charge. All six NiMH/NiCAD batteries must be correctly installed for charging to take place. While charging, the LCD will show the battery icon with the signal bars cycling. This will disappear from the display once the batteries have fully charged. It is normal for the rear panel to become warm while the batteries are charging. A docked iPod will also receive a full charge except when the iSongBook is tuned to AM. This is intentional since the internal charger reduces AM reception. See the quick reference chart below for charging status:

The iSongBook operates strictly from battery power alone when the AC adapter is not connected and all six batteries are correctly installed.
The iSongBook operates solely from the external power adapter whenever it is connected.
The iSongBook may be used with the AC adapter exclusively without batteries installed.
The LCD will show battery strength whenever the iSongBook is on and batteries are installed. The battery strength meter is approximate. Three bars represent full strength, two bars represent roughly 50% strength, and one bar represents about 25% remaining strength. The signal strength meter will not be shown when there are no batteries installed and the iSongBook is operating from the power supply.
