switch, the remaining battery indicator lamp lights
and the battery remaining power can be checked.
(Fig. 12) When releasing your finger from the
remaining battery indicator switch, the remaining
battery indicator lamp goes off. The Table 7 shows
the state of remaining battery indicator lamp and
the battery remaining power.

The battery remaining power
is enough.
The battery remaining power
is a half.
The battery remaining power
is nearly empty.

break it. It may lead to a trouble.
To save the battery power consumption, the
