Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.
In the above embodiment, when the user performs a power-on operation using the keyboard 16, the control unit 15 receives it and issues a command to turn on the power switch 13. In this case, the keyboard 16 is provided with a backlight so that it can be used even at night, and this backlight is lit for several seconds after the power is turned on. The current consumption of the backlight is normally several tens mA, and is automatically turned off for battery saving when there is no additional key input within a certain fixed time (several seconds).

FIG. 2 is a time series chart showing the relationship between the current consumption when the backlight is turned on and off in the standby state and when the backlight is turned on and the terminal voltage of the battery pack used. As described above, since there is a difference in current consumption of several tens of mA between on and off of the backlight, the difference in the terminal voltage of the battery pack in that case depends on the value of the internal impedance of the battery. By monitoring the terminal voltage of the battery when the backlight is turned on and off, the type of battery can be specified, and the control unit 15 displays the remaining amount and automatically turns off the power according to the discharge curve of the battery pack. The action can be performed.
