Hi Barrie, As quoted from the BC's manual. Battery Type This setting lets BookCourier know whether you are using non-rechargeable or rechargeable batteries. As noted in the Changing the Batteries section, if you are using rechargeable batteries (either alkaline or other), BookCourier can display unpredictable behavior when the batteries run low or die. When this setting is set to Rechargeable, BookCourier makes adjustments that will circumvent any problems when the batteries run low. If you are using non-rechargeable alkaline batteries like those shipped with the unit, you should change this setting to Non-rechargeable so that BookCourier can take full advantage of the battery life. The default is Rechargeable.=20 George.=20 -----Original Message----- From: bookcourier-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookcourier-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barrie Moxon Sent: 06 December 2004 21:20 To: bookcourier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookcourier] rechargeable batteries hi folks. would I beable to use rechargeable batteries in B/C, like 2500mAh AA NiMH rechargeable batteries . all the best. barrie Moxon barrie.moxon@xxxxxxxxxxxx=20 -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
