BATTERY CHARGING NOTES AND CAUTIONS

Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries!

The G5 can be played while charging.

Alarm settings and action are function while charging.

The AC adapter/charger will not charge the batteries unless the G5 is set to charge mode.

For improved life of rechargeable batteries, do not repeatedly charge fully charged batteries.

When using new rechargeable batteries or ones that have not been in use for a lengthy period of time, charge them fully, then use them until they are fully exhausted. Repeat this cycle several more times to condition the batteries.

At some point in their life cycle, all rechargeable batteries lose their ability to charge. When this occurs, it may be all four batteries at once, or only one of them. When this occurs, replace them all, not one at a time. Never mix old rechargeable batteries with new and always start with four, fresh, new Ni-MH batteries.

CAUTION! Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries!
