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 sug- gested by Etón Corporation.

The backlight will remain illuminated when using the AC adapter/char- ger.

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.

2.Connect the AC adapter/charger, first to the wall outlet, then to the G5.

3.Assure that the G5 is turned off.
