The lever mechanism is designed so you can't access both the AA batteries
and the Lithium batteries at the same time (doing so is BAD).
I can't believe how much they want for the serial cable??? I worked on it.
$60 is rather steep for a little cable. Also, $50 for an AC adapter is rather
steep as well. I think it'd be much cheaper to buy a 3rd party AC adapter.
(I forget the voltage. It's either 6 or 9 volts.)
The cover should fold down flat along the bottom of the unit.
Since I was doing software development and constantly resetting Zoomer,
I took off the cover (not too difficult).
Oh, the reset button is inside the battery compartment. You'll need a handy
paperclip to reset Zoomer.
