The RD5100H

OTx transmitter incorporates a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack 

and this is the intended primary power source for the transmitter. When the Lithium Ion 
low battery level LED illuminates the user should either recharge the battery pack using 
the Radiodetection supplied charger or alternatively fit 4 alkaline batteries. If alkaline 
batteries are fitted to the transmitter, these will be detected automatically and the 
transmitter will take its power from the alkaline batteries. When the alkaline batteries are 
low, the alkaline low battery level LED will illuminate.
