Hand-held Transmitter
BATTERY INSTALLATION
The transmitter is powered by a standard alkaline 9 Volt battery. It is important that you use ONLY an ALKALINE
battery for reliable operation. Alkaline batteries will provide about 4 hours of operation and lithium batteries will
power the unit for 12 hours. The battery status lamp will function normally only with alkaline batteries. Standard
zinc-carbon batteries marked “heavy duty” or “long-lasting” are not adequate. They will provide only about 2 hours of
operation. Similarly, nicad rechargeable batteries only provide about 1.5 hours of operation, and will run down quite
abruptly.
The battery compartment is located in the lower section of the transmitter, between two printed circuit boards. To
install a fresh battery, follow the steps illustrated below. Look inside the battery compartment when the cover is off
and take note of the two differently sized holes in the battery contact pad. Insert the battery so that the large hole in
the battery contact pad will line up with the large contact on the battery when it is installed. The spring-loaded
plunger in the bottom of the compartment (opposite the contact pad) secures the battery in place.
The battery status is indicated by an LED on the bottom panel. The LED will glow brightly when the battery is good
and will dim as the battery condition deteriorates. The LED is at full brightness with a new battery.
