Note:

The P-2000 stops charging if the battery becomes hot when operating it during charging. It will start charging again when it cools down.

Removing the Battery

If you plan to store the P-2000 for an extended period of time, you should remove the battery.

4Pull out the battery. Then close the battery cover.

Conserving Battery Power

To conserve battery power and protect the LCD screen, the P-2000 has two power-saving features. If no button has been pressed and there has been no activity for 10 minutes, the backlight on the LCD screen is turned off. After 15 minutes, the power is turned off.

Note:

You can change the number of minutes for these settings; see “Setting the Power Save Options” on page 49.

If the screen goes dark because the backlight is turned off, press any button on the P-2000 to resume operation. If the P-2000 has been powered off, you need to turn it back on with the power switch.

Note:

The power is also turned off if the P-2000 gets too hot. If this happens, let it cool before turning it back on.
