System Start Up

Optional Auxiliary Battery Pack

An optional Rechargeable Auxiliary Battery Pack is available to connect with the Tracking Ring
Power Pack for extra long use. When attached to the Tracking Ring Power Pack, the Auxiliary
Battery Pack overrides the built-in 12-hour Battery. If more than 4 hours of use is required, then
connect the Auxiliary Battery Pack to the Tracking Ring Power Pack. This provides up to twenty-
four additional hours of use.

To recharge the Auxiliary Battery Pack:

1. Turn

OFF

the Tracking Ring Power Pack.

2. Set the switch on the front of the Battery Charger to

AUXILIARY BATTERY PACK

.

3. Plug the Battery Charger into an electrical outlet and connect the Auxiliary Battery Pack to

the charger.

To get the maximum hours of use, utilize the 12 hour built-in battery first until the

Battery LOW

LED illuminates, then attach the Auxiliary Battery Pack for an additional

24 hours, giving you a total of 36 hours of use.

Once the BATTERY LOW LED illuminates, recharge the Tracking Power Pack before the

next use. The Battery Charger takes 4 – 6 hours to recharge the Auxiliary Battery
Pack.

Audio Switch

To activate Audio:

1. Set the

AUDIO

switch on the top of the Tracking Ring Power Pack to

ON

.

2. Speak at a normal level.

If you decide not to use the Audio feature of the Tracking Ring Package, the

AUDIO

switch on

the top of the Tracking Ring Power Pack should be set to

OFF

.
