Rear case
The battery compartment cover (which is located to the lower section of the
rear case) may be removed using a downward sliding motion. Underneath the
battery compartment cover are two user accessible parts, the RS232C-
REMOTE/TAPE connector and the BATTERIES.
5-14 RS232C REMOTE connector
This is a very small connector located at the very lowest point of the rear
cabinet below the battery housing. It may not be immediately obvious that this
is a connector, a channel of about 10mm wide by 3mm high houses the
connector.
An optional interface (CU-8232) and lead is available which connects to this
point to permit cloning (copying) of data between two AR8000 receivers and
computer control of the unit.
A separate optional interface (CR-8000) permits tape record connection for
both audio and motor switching.
5-15 BATTERY compartment
Inside the battery compartment is a cradle designed to accept 4 x UM-3 (AA
size) batteries. Carefully note the polarity of the cells (which way around they
fit). Either the supplied rechargeable NiCad batteries or high quality dry
batteries may be used. However, never attempt to charge the receiver or
connect to an external power source when dry batteries are fitted.
Always remove dry batteries when they have expired (run down). Should you
plan not to use the receiver for a period of time and have dry batteries fitted,
remove the batteries to avoid leakage.
Note: The memory channel data is held by an internal EEPROM which
does not require batteries or connection to external supply. However,
always switch the receiver Off when changing batteries or connecting /
disconnecting external power. Should you remove the batteries while the
set is switched On the last memory data will be lost.
* Please refer to section 4-3 POWER REQUIREMENTS for further details and
charging information.
