Hi Dale
The dectalk express that i am currently using since june 14th is the express
model that is a serial device that i am not sure comes with a batter pack or
that batteries are internal since mind is connected via an adapter which i
believe is plug in somehow directly to the case of the computer since there
is a single plug for the a.c. into the wall socket.
i would go with microcomputer science centre and ask for calvin at
#1-800-290-6563
I hope this is some help...
