the traditional bladed end into a wall outlet.  The transmitter is 
then powered by AC mains voltage instead of batteries.  

 

 

The Pro900 transmitter also can use 

8 “D” (LR20) alkaline batteries that 

are  installed  inside  the  transmitter  battery  compartment.    Remove  the 
battery  compartment  cover  and  install  the  batteries,  paying  particular 
attention to the positive and negative poles.  
 
A  9-volt  square  (6LR61)  alkaline  battery  is  needed  for  the  Pro900 
receiver.  To install this battery, remove the battery compartment cover 
located on the back top portion of the Pro900 receiver. Install the 9 volt 
battery  by  connecting  it  to  the  battery  snap  boot  inside  the  battery 
compartment.    Don't  yank  or  pull  hard  on  the  battery  boot.    Finally, 
replace the battery cover. 
 
To test that the batteries have been correctly installed, turn each unit on.  
The  control  panel  LCDs  will  come  on  if  the  batteries  have  been 
connected  correctly.    If  not,  repeat  the  installation  procedures.    The 
battery compartment is designed to hold the batteries tightly so if you do 
not get a signal for power, try adjusting the batteries by rolling them or 
moving them forward and backward until the power does come on. 

 

 

Battery  Condition  Indicators  - 

There  are  low 

battery  indicator  symbols  on  the  left  edge  of  both  the 
transmitter  and  receiver  display  panels.    These 

“fuel 

gau

ge”  battery  symbols  will  be  solid  when  fresh  and 

diminish to empty as the batteries are depleted.
