Sabine rechargeable battery advantages. Here are several more good
reasons why you can feel more confident about using rechargeable
batteries:
1.
All transmitters report two types of battery status information. The
first report is the all-important voltage the battery is supplying. Sec-
ond, you’ll know how long the battery has been in use (battery run
time hours). Each receiver channel also receives telemetry infor-
mation from its associated transmitter, regarding the battery volt-
age, and displays the information in the receiver LCD (see figure
5b). When the voltage reaches a level indicating an estimated 30
remaining minutes of useful battery life, both transmitter and re-
ceiver automatically flash warnings in their LCD displays. As an
alternative means of anticipating battery depletion, you can check
the number of hours of use, by checking the transmitter LCD dis-
play (see Section 4.2.2 and figure 4g), or the Remote Control Soft-
ware.
2.
The handheld microphone clip that we provide with each handheld
transmitter not only holds the microphone — it also can double as
an unobtrusive charger housing. Anytime the mic is parked in the
clip (and the clip is connected to the charger power supply), the mic
is being charged. As an additional safety margin against battery
failure, the mic placed in the powered clip gets its power from the
charger, not the battery, so it will work perfectly even if the battery is
completely dead.
3.
Sabine’s intelligent charger circuitry detects the type of battery in
place within the battery compartment, and automatically turns off
the charger if the battery is not compatible with the charger.
4.
The Tireless Wireless™ Charger detects when a battery is fully
charged, and turns off the charging cycle.
5.
The Tireless Wireless™ Charger prevents futile attempts to resus-
citate dead batteries — if the battery is unresponsive, the charging
cycle is stopped.
6.
Beltpack and handheld batteries can be recharged without remov-
ing them from the transmitters. Just connect charger plug to the
transmitter jack (see Fig. 4l).
NOTE: In the “most discharged” battery condition, a full recharge may
take up 8 to 12 hours depending on the mA value of the AA batteries
used with the handheld and beltpack transmitter. The charging system
will charge a batteries with a mA value of up to 2400. When in doubt,
charge the batteries overnight. Sabine’s battery-protection circuit will
shut the charger down when charging is completed.
Transmitter Operation
Turn off transmitter before
changing battery(s).
BEFORE CHANGING BATTERY
Your Sabine True Mobility
®
transmitter
comes with one or more rechargeable
NiMH batteries. For best results, charge
the battery for at least 8 hours before
using it for the first time. Please note
that the full charging potential of the bat-
tery will be achieved after the first 5
charging cycles have been completed.
NiMH rechargeable batteries are highly
resistant to “memory effect,” which af-
fects some other rechargeable batter-
ies. The included NiMH batteries will pro-
vide more lifetime charges and longer
battery life for each charge than many
other rechargeable batteries.
