Hardware Description
Battery Replacement
Lithium Ion Batteries have no “memory effect”, and instead experience a more linear reduction in capacity. Shure recommends establishing a battery
replacement schedule customized to the client requirements and replacing batteries when the capacity is no longer acceptable.
Battery Statistics on Control Software
The MXW control software is used to manage battery information. Use the Monitor tab to view battery charging status:
In the Charging Station
: Displays the remaining time until the
microphone battery is fully charged.
During Use
: Displays the remaining battery runtime of the
microphone.
For battery health statistics, use the Utility tab:
Battery Capacity
: The microphone battery's percentage of charge
capacity as compared to a new battery.
Cycle Count
: Number of charge cycles logged by the battery.
