Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

you know you'd think that's true, but i've asked (and asked) and no one 
seems to bat an eye at doing it this way.. you're the first person I've 
heard


I use a power conditioner as the main switch, so that also helps insure 
regulating power and avoiding spikes..


however not to assume too much I found this thread and as you can see 
yes some opinions are varied but there are guys in here who have done it 
for many many years and even some pointing out the advantage of not 
wearing out the on/off switches of aging gear.

but yea what I'm trying to do is figure out how I can remove the need 
for using D batteries as a backup since I'm not planning on playing this 
thing portably though I wouldn't mind keeping that ability of course.


For now I did go buy a 12 pack of D batteries just for now.. and I will 
just turn off the casio for now but even so I really would like to 
remove this dependency on expensive D batteries.. not to mention the 
potential risk of acid leaking.. sure a 2032 could as well but far less 
damaging and will last longer.  Casio's manual says the D batteries are 
only good for 12 months as backup..


Thanks,
Caleb
