MAINTENANCE

Changing the battery in the R-3500 receiver
The status of the receiver’s batteries is checked upon start-up and indicated in the display.

The system regularly checks the battery strength as well. If battery capacity falls below 10 % of the threshold value, an audible 
warning signal is given and the current status of the batteries is shown in the upper part of the display.
