3.9 BATTERY OPTION
The W-DMX G4 Micro units are equipped with a holder for 6 AAA batteries. If batteries are installed in the
unit and 12 V DC power is disconnected, the unit runs on battery power. The BATT and SIGNAL LED light
up alternately every 5 seconds:
• When the BATT LED is on, the signal bars indicate battery status.
• When the SIGNAL LED is on, the signal bars indicate signal strength.
On average, the W-DMX receiver can receive for approximately from 4 to 8 hours in battery mode. The
exact battery life depends on the brand of batteries and mode of the W-DMX unit.
We recommend testing the discharge time of your selected batteries before using them in a show envi-
ronment.
The W-DMX G4 Micro units are compatible with rechargeable batteries (down to 1.2 V DC per cell). Note,
that the batteries cannot be charged with the Micro units. Please use an appropriate battery charger.
