This chapter describes powering the GB-500, and setting up and
connecting the various components in preparation for observations.
Connecting and Charging the Batteries
The GB-500 is equipped with two replaceable, rechargeable
batteries. Observation can continue even when removing one of the
batteries. Moreover, if using the AC adaptor, the batteries can be
recharged while still in the GB-500.
Using the BT-60Q Batteries
NOTICE
NOTICE
Before shipping, the factory attaches an insulated sheet
to the battery contacts. Remove this sheet before use.
A slight current flows inside the GB-500 even when power is
off. Therefore, if storing the GB-500 for a long time with the
batteries installed, the batteries will run down and the GB-500
may become inoperable. Remove the batteries if storing the
GB-500 for two weeks or more.
Figure 2-1 on page 2-2 illustrate steps one through three for
inserting the BT-60Q batteries.
