Your DV can also use non rechargeable alkaline bat-
teries instead of a single rechargeable battery. Four
AAA size, alkaline batteries should be used in place
of the supplied lithium battery and should be inserted
as shown below.
Note: The AC adapter can still be used when
non rechargeable batteries are installed,
but it will not recharge the cells.
A battery level indicator is displayed in the bottom
left hand corner of the LCD display. When the indica-
tor shows that the battery is nearly flat, you should
connect the AC adapter or change the battery.
