3.4 Battery Compartment
EZDigiPod DP330 requires (4) AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries with a minimum
current rating of 2000 mAh. Note: Alkaline batteries can also be used but they
do not last as long as Ni-MH batteries. Typical estimated usage times for a fully
charged set of batteries:
Alkaline 95 min.
Ni-MH 2000mAh 110 min.
Ni-MH 2300mAh 160 min.
(Note: Alkaline batteries can also be used but they do not last as long as Ni-
MH batteries)
6
Figure 3
(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)

NOTE: Usage time and repeated discharge cycles will cause the capacity of
rechargeable batteries to diminish.
(1) The red LED indicator may blink occasionally during the conversion and
transfer operation. This is normal even if the battery is fully charged.
(2) If the red LED indicator blinks continuously, connect an AC power adapter
or recharge the batteries immediately after completing the current ripping
operation; failure to follow this instruction may result in the next ripping
operation having either damaged files or a failure.
(3) Batteries will discharge if they are not used for a period of time. Make sure
batteries are all fully charged before major usage. (The amount of discharge
will vary depending upon the temperature, and the battery manufacturer/
model. Please consult battery manufacturer’s specifi cation data).
(4) Please follow instructions provided by rechargeable battery manufacturers
for operation, recharging, maintenance and disposal of the batteries.
(NOTE: Mixing different brands of rechargeable batteries, or
mixing fully charged batteries with partial charged batteries is NOT
recommended.)
(5) Using the EZDigiPod with the AC adapter WILL NOT recharge batteries.
(6) NOTE:
When powering the unit using NiMH rechargeable batteries only, the user
must consider the added power drain associated with some memory cards
and USB devices. The use of MicroDrives, or certain USB Hard Drives and
personal media players (which are USB-powered or recharge from the USB
port) will substantially reduce the operating time for a charged set of NiMH
batteries.
