INTERNAL POWER
The SRX1200 operates using either six primary alkaline
‘C’ cell
s or with
secondary rechargeable batteries. Each battery compartment (accessible from the
back panel) accommodates three 1.5 V
‘
C
’
cell batteries. With new primary
batteries installed, the receiver can operate continuously for up to 12 hours
(backlight on) or 16 hours (backlight off). Operational life to battery replacement
will vary owing to battery manufacturer, temperature during operation, periods
between storage and usage, as well as how a receiver may be configured. During
periods of extended storage, batteries should be removed from the receiver.
It is always advisable to verify battery status prior to scheduled field work and
when possible to have replacement cells on-hand. Replace all batteries at the
same time. Avoid mixing used and new batteries. Use batteries from known
manufacturers, e.g. Energizer, Duracell, and dispose of used batteries in
accordance with applicable practices, regulations to your region.
