An electronic device comprises a main battery used as a drive power source for driving the electronic device, a secondary battery used as a drive power source instead of the main battery when the main battery cannot be used, a battery detection unit that detects an event of removal of the main battery from the electronic device, and a power control unit that changes the drive power source from the main battery to the secondary battery and controls operation of the electronic device to reduce power consumption by the electronic device when removal of the main battery is detected by the battery detection unit.

Tablets are delivered from a tablet storage case () mounted on a case support table (), and when the tablets are passed through a delivery passage (), formed in the case support table (), quantity of the passed tablets is counted by a counting means (). A start state of mounting of the tablet storage case () on the case support table () is detected by case detection means (), and the counting sensor () is kept in off state until the start state of mounting of the photon-electron conversion region is detected by the case detection () and is set to On state after the detection. This ensures prevention of erroneous operation due to the mounting and dismounting of the tablet storage case () on and from the case support table ().
