Battery Requirements
Your Halo Capsule requires
2 x LR6 AA 1.5V alkaline batteries.
The use of good quality batteries is essential for maximum battery life.
To reduce the risk of battery leakage:
•
DO NOT
mix old and new batteries
•
DO NOT
mix different battery types
• The use of rechargeable batteries is
NOT
recommended
Please ensure the batteries are removed from the Capsule during long periods
without use.
NEVER
place batteries in a hot environment (e.g. on a radiator).
Drying Out After Use in Heavy Rain
Your Halo Capsule has been designed to be waterproof. However, if exposed to prolonged
heavy rain or frequent submersion, it is important to allow the unit to dry out properly by
bringing the unit indoors and allowing to dry fully after use.
Warnings
• Avoid using powerful radio transmitting equipment in close proximity to the
unit, as this may affect the products performance.
• Store this equipment out of reach of children and infants.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the Capsule to severe impacts.
Obtaining Best Performance from your Halo Capsule
The operating range of the Halo Marker Pole System, like all low power radio systems, is
highly dependent on the conditions of use and can be adversely affected by the position
of both transmitter and receiver, the terrain over which it is being used, the prevailing
atmospheric conditions and the presence of any interfering signals.
To obtain best performance, it is recommended that you –
• Operate the Remote as high above ground as possible – If worn on the body,
it should be worn as high as possible and on the outside of your clothing.
• Try to keep a direct “line-of-sight” between the receiver and transmitter when in use –
obstruction such as trees etc. may cause loss/reduction of signal.
• Do not keep the Remote in the same pocket as a mobile phone, or other electronic
devices.
• Ensure both the Capsule and the Remote have good batteries.
All the above hints become progressively less important, as the working range is reduced.
Fitting the Batteries
1. Turn off unit prior to fitting or
replacing batteries.
3. Take care removing the batteries.
They will freely slide out of the Capsule.
5. Screw the battery cap back
onto the Capsule.
2. Unscrew the battery cap by hand.
4. Insert new batteries and ensure
correct polarity.
6. For best weatherproofing, ensure the
battery cap has a good seal by firmly
tightening onto the Capsule,
compressing the O-Ring seal.
You can expect your Halo Capsule to have the following approximate “Working Life” duration
when new batteries are used:
•
Standby Life
(Capsule is ON, and the LED is off)
= 552 hours/23 days
•
Operational Life
(Capsule is ON, and the LED is on)
= 130 hours - red, green & blue LED colours
= 75 hours - amber, purple & white LED colours
Working Life of your Halo Capsule
As the batteries approach a depleted state and replacement is required, the Capsule will
“double flash” in the red colour every 60 seconds.
Once the ‘Low Battery Warning’ has begun, your Capsule will continue to work for
approximately 20 minutes. Once the ‘Low Battery Warning’ has been activated, batteries
should be replaced immediately.
