Digital Hybrid ® Plug-On Transmitter
Rio Rancho, NM 7
Battery Installation
The HM transmitter is powered by two AA batteries.
We recommend using lithium batteries for longest life.
Lithium batteries provide over 12 hours of operation at
room temperature.
Note: Standard zinc-carbon batteries marked
“heavy-duty” or “long-lasting” are not adequate.
The battery status circuitry is designed for the voltage
drop over the life of lithium batteries.
Batteries operate in series, with a connecting plate
built into the battery door
To install new batteries:
1. Slide open the Battery Cover and remove any old
batteries.
2. Insert the new batteries into the housing. One bat-
tery goes in positive (+) end first, the other negative
(-) end first. Look into the battery compartment to
determine which end goes in which side. The side
with the plastic ring is the side which accepts the
positive end of the battery.

negative (–)

Note: It is possible to install the batteries backward
and close the battery door, but the batteries will
not make contact and the unit will not work.
3. Slide the Battery Cover until it snaps securely shut.
Attaching/Removing a
Microphone
The spring loaded coupler under the XLR jack maintains
a secure fit to the microphone jack with continuous pres-
sure applied by an internal spring.
To attach the microphone, simply align the XLR pins
and press the microphone onto the transmitter until the
coupler retracts and latches. A click sound will be heard
as the connector latches.
To remove the microphone, hold the transmitter body
in one hand with the microphone pointing upward. Use
your other hand to rotate the coupler until the latch
releases and the coupler rises slightly.
