10. Setting up the Transmitter

  In the further course of these instructions, figures in the text always refer to the adjacent figure or the figures 

within the section. References to other figures are indicated with the corresponding figure number. 

a) Inserting the Batteries

For the power supply of the transmitter you will need  

4 alkaline batteries (e.g. Conrad item no. 652507, pack 

of 4, order 1x) of the size AA/mignon. 
Proceed as follows to insert the batteries:
The battery compartment lid (1) is located on the back of 

the transmitter. Press the corrugated area (2) and push 

off the lid downwards.
Ensure that the polarity is correct when inserting the  

4 batteries. A corresponding note (3) is located on the 

bottom of the battery compartment.
Then slide the lid of the battery compartment back on 

from the bottom until the locking mechanism engages. 

b) Switching on the Transmitter

When new batteries are inserted, switch on the transmit-

ter with the function switch (see figure 1, item 10) for test 

purposes. For this, slide the operating switch from the 

bottom (off) to the top (on). 
The transmitter emits a short signal sound and the LED 

display (also see figure 1, item 9) lights up green per

-

manently.
If the voltage supply drops below 5 V, the LED display 

switches from green to orange to red and thus indicates 

threatening undersupply of the transmitter. The model 

should then no longer be operated. 
When the voltage drops below 4.2 V, the LED display 

starts  flashing  red  and  the  transmitter  emits  acoustic 

warning sounds at regular intervals. In this case, opera-

tion of the model must be ceased as quickly as possible. Insert new batteries for further operation of the transmitter.

After you have verified the correct function of your transmitter, switch it off again.
