External Power Supply
The PC-2 can be used with external power supply sources (optional/extra) such as the one provided with the PC-2
PRINTER/CASSETTE INTERFACE (26-3605).
The PC-2 will not "recognize" that an external power source is connected to it until the adaptor is plugged into
the Computer (on the right side of the PC-2) and into a wall outlet.
The Battery Indicator light should be ON whenever an external power source is connected to the Computer. If
it is not ON, the power supply could be defective. Disconnect the power supply and see if the Indicator comes ON
