Power Supply
The ESC400T is powered by two AAA (LR03) batteries. When the batteries become weak, a warning message will be displayed. In order to prevent excessively discharging the batteries and undergoing a resulting loss of data in RAM, the Say function will be disabled if battery power is low. To restore full functionality of the device and to avoid risk of losing user data, replace the complete set of batteries as soon as possible. Do not mix old and new batteries. 9 If you plug in the AC adapter, full functionality of the device will be restored
