1) Internal 9V Battery
Alkaline battery types are recommended.
As the transmitter RF driver stage is stabilized, the output power remains virtually constant as the battery voltage
falls. There will be no loss of range or performance as the battery volts fall from 9 to 6 volts. The transmitter
battery-warning signal starts when the supply voltage has fallen to 6.5 volts (approx.)
Opening the battery compartment
2) External Powering
It is recommended that external power be only applied via a MICRON TLP lead as this lead includes a 9V voltage
regulator and dc filtering.
NOTE: Using a transmitter supply greater than 9 volts will not increase the output power and may cause damage to
the transmitter.
The battery compartment is
opened by pressing the button on
the back of the unit on the front
there is slot for the 9V battery to
fit into.
The battery can be easily
released with the aid of
the thumb cut-out.
