2 INSTALLING THE BATTERIES.
On the rear side of the machine, loose the 2 "thumb" screws until the battery box can be removed. To
open the battery compartment, slide the inner cover until it is fully open. If dry cells are used verify that
the battery compartment switch is in the OFF position. Install the 6 "AA" cells observing the polarity
and replace the inner cover. Lock the battery compartment back to the machine.
Important note:
When using the external power supply, check that the switch on the battery compartment is set to
"OFF" before installing dry cells.
In the OFF position, the charger circuitry is not activated and if an external power supply is connected,
the machine will run from external supply and not from the batteries.
When an external power supply is connected to the Ares-BB, the green led turns on. During charge,
the yellow led turns on. The Ares-BB charges with approx. 300 mA. Charging stops automatically
(yellow led starts blinking slowly and finally turns off). If the charger switch is turned on and no
batteries are installed while the machine receives external power, the yellow led starts blinking fast.
3 INSTALLING THE FLASHCARD.
Insert the flashcard on the right side of the machine and push it fully home (eject button fully out).
Compact flash cards must be installed using an adapter.
NOTE: The software version, for the Ares -BB V2.00 and higher allows using linear and Strata flash
cards, ATA cards, compact flash cards and Micro-drive cards.
Important note:
When running the machine in the FAT 16 mode, only ATA, Compact flash cards and Micro-drive cards
can be used.

5 CONTRAST.

key (12) pressed while turning on the machine. This brings the machine directly to the contrast menu.

Once the correct contrast is found, press the " C ENTER" key (13) to store the new setting in the
machine. Press the "LEFT" arrow key (10) to quit the menus. The factory setting has the value "32".
