the Aqua Logic main control unit at the pool equipment pad. The Base
Receiver can also be mounted up to 500 ft. away from the main control unit to
shorten the distance between it and any wireless remote. See the "Remote
Mounting of the Base Receiver" section of the Base Receiver manual for
more details.

Powering the AQL-Tx-RF-PS-x:
The AQL-Tx-RF-PS-x uses a rechargeable
built-in battery pack which will require an initial charge when you first receive
the unit. Charge the unit for at least 15 hours before attempting to use it without
the charger. Note that the AQL-Tx-RF-PS-x can be used normally while con-
nected to the charger.
Charging the battery:
Plug the included wall mount charger into a standard 120VAC wall outlet,
away from the pool area. It is not recommended that you use an extension
cord with this product. Plug the power connector into the rear of the AQL-
Tx-RF-PS-x. Charge for 15 hours. A fully charged battery will provide over
400 one-minute uses under typical conditions.
About battery power:
When the charger is not plugged into the AQL-Tx-RF-x, the unit uses bat-
tery power and will take steps to extend battery life. After one minute of no
button presses by the user, the unit will show a brief display and will go into
"sleep" mode (pg. 5). To wake it up, simply press any button on the keypad.
The button press will not perform any function except waking the unit. Once
awake, any subsequent button presses will perform their normal functions.
When the charger is plugged in, the unit uses wall power while it also charges
the batteries. It will always be "awake", as long as it's plugged into the
charger.
Note that the batteries will slowly lose charge if the unit is not plugged into
the wall, even if it is not used. The batteries will need to be charged every 1
-2 months, depending on usage.
The AQL-Tx-RF-PS-x will display a series of information about its status and
the status of the battery. Refer to the "Operation" section of this manual for
an explanation of each of these displays.
NOTE: The built-in NiCad battery pack is available only through Goldline
and should offer at least 5 years of service, depending upon use. If the
battery pack needs to be replaced, contact Goldline Customer Service.
