USB Bus Power

Supply power from a PC, or USB charger (option).
Connect attached micro USB cable to the USB device port of line monitor.
Attention:
Do not use the USB charger which outputs 9V or 12V. (use 5V only)
Batteries inserted in the line monitor are used when USB bus power is OFF.
However, do not remove the batteries from the line monitor while using
with USB bus power.
Battery Drive

The line monitor is able to run for about 5 hours with attached Ni-
HM batteries. For temporary use, it is able to use AA-size Alkali
batteries (LR6) and run for about 2 hours.
The running time is just a standard time. It might be different if using batteries

of different manufactures.
＜Attention for Alkali batteries ＞
Please follow the instruction. It may cause leaking and damaging the
batteries.
* Use Alkali batteries for temporary use. Put back the Ni-HM batteries for
normal use.
* Do not use old and new batteries together at the same time. Do not use the
batteries of different manufactures.
* Change the batteries immediately if remaining quantity of batteries is
low.
* Do not charge the Alkali batteries.
* Do not touch the liquid of batteries directly. Please go to see your doctor
when having it on your body.
