BATTERIES

Your detector is standardly powered by four 1.5V Alkaline batteries, size
AA (R6), which allow you to use the detector for 20-30 hours. The time of use
depends on how many signals your detector will locate and process and
whether you use headphones. The use of headphones will increase the time
of battery use.
As we have already mentioned, when turning the detector on the led
indicator will light in alternating green and red lights for a while, and then for a
second with green light, if your batteries are charged. If this light is red, you
should take out and replace the batteries or recharge them (if the batteries
are Ni-MH)
If in the process of operation of the detector the batteries are discharged
the low battery indicator will blink in red on every 20 seconds, and you’ll hear
warning audio signal. If you do not turn off the detector, this will continue until
the batteries are fully discharged (not too long time), which is not desirable,
because is extremely harmful for the batteries themselves.
To remove the batteries, make the following:
Remove the lid of the battery compartment on the backside of the control
box. You’ll see the batteries. In the bottom of the compartment are described
schematically 4 batteries and the direction of their location.
If the batteries are rechargeable, put them into the charger, of course,
keeping in mind the direction of their position in the charger. For a full charge
of your 1800 mAh batteries you’ll need about 15 hours. After the batteries are
recharged, or if you are going to use new alkaline batteries, put them into the
battery compartment, making certain to match the battery polarity with the
markings indicated on the bottom of the compartment..
WARNING: Be very careful to install correctly the batteries in the battery
compartment.
