I tune up to 5 pianos with this setting. I carry an extra charger/AC adapter and a 6' extension cord in my tuning kit at all times and I also bought the car lighter adapter. So far, I've never been caught out of juice with the iPaq. For me, the light weight and size alone makes it the ETD of choice.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=920055713-07072002><FONT color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=920055713-07072002><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Marcel Carey, RPT</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=920055713-07072002><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Sherbrooke, QC</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> owner-pianotech@ptg.org [mailto:owner-pianotech@ptg.org]<B>On Behalf Of </B>Piannaman@AOL.COM<BR><B>Sent:</B> 2002-juillet-07 09:24<BR><B>To:</B> pianotech@ptg.org<BR><B>Subject:</B> Re: 1st tuning w/Pocket RCT<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>In a message dated 7/6/02 4:53:49 PM Pacific Daylight Time, beckingt@mb.sympatico.ca writes: <BR><BR><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" TYPE="CITE">Can you use the iPac while the charger is plugged in or do you have to <BR>disconnect the charger prior to use? <BR></FONT><FONT lang=0 face=Arial color=#000000 size=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF"></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></FONT><FONT lang=0 face=Arial color=#000000 size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF"><BR>Yes, you can.  I do it all the time.  Sometimes it's hard to find a convenient outlet for the charger, but not usually. <BR><BR>Dave Stahl</FONT> </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
