: When the V.Reader®is running on batteries,
you may see this icon appear on the screen
. This indicates that battery power is
low, and you should replace the batteries
soon. Battery time remaining once the
icon first appears is approximately 10-30
minutes, depending on the type of batteries
in use. After that, the V.Reader®will show the screen for 5 seconds, and
then will turn off automatically.
To preserve battery life, the V.Reader®will automatically turn off after
several minutes without input.The V.Reader®can be turned on again by
pressing the ON/OFF button.
