OutPost Basic Owners Manual
INSTALLING BATTERIES INTO THE OUTPOST
FIG2: BACK HALF OF HOUSING, SHOWING CELL POLARITY
Use non-rechargeable Alkaline D-cell batteries for maximum battery life.
The OUTPOST should operate for one (1) year on a set of Alkaline batteries,
depending upon usage.
Cooler temperatures degrade battery life. Exposure to 10° C (50° F) will reduce
battery life to 90% of normal. Exposure to 20° C (4° F) will reduce battery
life to 35% of normal.
3. Note the positive and negative polarities ("+" and "")
of each cell. Press six Alkaline D-cells into proper
position.
NOTE:
When all batteries are in place, confirm
that the RED wire contacts the positive (+)
pole of the first battery, and the BLACK
wire contacts the negative () pole of the
last battery, as shown in FIG2.
4. Reconnect the in-line connector between the Front
and the back halves of the RF enclosure.
