Batteries 

 

Explanation:

 Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage. Many 

items sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries manufactured this 
year will have an expiration date 10 years (or more) in the future. Battery technology has 
improved and batteries will maintain voltage longer in storage. However, the environment the 
batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power. 
 

  We suggest name brand Alkaline batteries for 

indoor displays

.  

  A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.   

  Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier 

than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.   

  Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio 

frequency) interference from the battery compartment.
