All hx19 receivers are shipped with a pigtail ribbon cable lead, it is easy
enough to connect supply power to the leads (see below), in this case the
front lid never needs to be open.
Easy startup is to go and get a Br2032 or Cr2032 lithium coin type battery
from your nearest hardware shop and plug it into the holder as shown on
the left. The blue LED will flash ones when the device has sufficient
power. Receivers are not shipped in battery mode so the receiver will
demand more current than necessary or 25mA, this will drain a standard
lithium battery down in a few hours. To extend the battery life use
hx19access to place the receiver in battery savings mode (see manual).
Please note that when in battery mode the device needs to be driven by
the sync option in the hx19access program.
MicroMatch plug is shown on the right, and the
image on the left shows the microMatch
plugged into the hx19r receiver. As a rule of
thumb the conductor closest to the edge of the
microMatch plug is always ground or negative
reference. Wrong polarization is not harmful to
the device, when power is correctly applied the
blue LED flashes ones.

The microMatch plug can only go in one way.
To remove the battery lid, press on the bottom
of the lid by the cable opening as shown on the
left, and try to apply 45 degree force upward. In
case the lid is being closed use the same
method but apply the 45 degree force
downward.
