WEATHERPAK

MTR is powered by ten alkaline “D” cell batteries, which
are located in the top section of the tower. The batteries should be
replaced periodically with high quality alkaline batteries. Rechargeable
batteries typically do not perform well in the WEATHERPAK

The “Internal” battery in the Receiver/Display box should provide several
years of service and is not user maintained. If you believe the internal
Receiver/Display battery is not functioning properly, call Coastal’s Service
Department.
