Main Window

 indicates the remaining 

power of the transmitter batteries. This battery gauge 

is most accurate with the typical voltage drop across 

the life of alkaline and dry cell lithium batteries.

Battery Gauge

Rechargeable batteries give little or no warning when 

nearing depletion. If you use rechargeable batteries in 

the HH, we recommend trying fully charged batteries 

first, noting the length of time that the batteries will run 

the unit, and in the future using somewhat less than 

that time to determine when the battery needs to be 

replaced. The Venue and other receivers from Lectro-

sonics offer a timer function to assist in this process.

places it into a “standby” mode (not transmitting). This 

allows the transmitter to be set up without the risk of 

creating interference for other wireless systems that 

are operating in the vicinity.

The antenna symbol will blink as a reminder 

that the RF output is turned off.
