Caution: Do not attempt to charge alkaline batteries.
Some users are required (for emergency preparedness, etc.) to leave their
ProLink 500 units plugged into the charger at all times.
For those applications we recommend replacing the batteries every 12
months.
SYSTEM RANGE
The RF signal will travel through many solid objects. However, the more solid
objects between the belt packs, the more the range will be reduced. When the belt
packs are transmitting, the Transmit LED will flash red. If the signal drops out, the
LED will glow solid red on REMOTE belt packs only. If the belt packs are too far
apart, the REMOTE belt packs need to move closer to the MASTER belt pack.
