an AC adapter.

• Charging starts automatically when you mount the battery pack onto the AC adapter/charger.
• The amount of time it takes to achieve a full charge depends on whether the AC adapter/charger
also being used to power the CASSIOPEIA by attachment with the DC power cord. An M Type
battery pack (JK-210RBM) takes about five hours to reach a full charge with normal (non-rapid)
charging when the CASSIOPEIA is being used to perform an operation that consumes a large
amount of power.
• Avoid using the AC adapter/charger to power the CASSIOPEIA while rapid charge is in progress.
Connecting the AC adapter/charger to the CASSIOPEIA can cause rapid charging to switch
automatically to normal charging.
