Batteries
The FlashMic requires two AA-size batteries. Either .5v alkaline or .v NiMH (nickel metal
hydride) rechargeable batteries may be used.
Batteries of at least 500mAh capacity are recommended.
Do not use zinc chloride batteries.
Inserting Batteries
Hold the FlashMic in one hand and unscrew the rear
section (the section with the display and operating
controls) with the other.
Slide the rear section back as far as it will go.
Open the hinged plastic battery compartment cover.
Insert the two batteries oriented as shown on the
compartment cover.
Always change both batteries at the same time, and always use two batteries of the same
brand and type. NEVER mix alkaline and rechargeable batteries.
The two batteries must point the same way.
Close the cover, push the rear section back over the compartment, and screw up tight.
Note: If changing alkaline batteries, dispose of the old ones in a responsible manner –
always observe local environmental guidelines.
Battery Management
Battery life will be maximised if the FlashMic is switched off when not in use, as the power
consumed in IDLE mode is virtually the same as in REC mode.
The internal clock settings are protected within FlashMic for approximately  minute after
the batteries are removed. Recorded sound files and configuration settings are not affected
by battery removal.
Remove any batteries from the FlashMic if it is to be unused for an extended period (more
than a month).
Battery Status Indicator
A 4-segment battery status indicator is provided on the LCD display.
The number of segments displayed is proportional to the battery power remaining. The rate
of change of the display can be altered (via the menu system or via the FlashMic Manager
software) to reflect the different discharge characteristics of alkaline or rechargeable
batteries.
The display backlight, the record LED on the FlashMic base and the battery indicator will all
flash when the remaining battery life approaches zero. If the FlashMic is recording when the
batteries are nearly exhausted, the recording will be stopped after the flashing warning.
