TRANSMITTER BATTERY INFORMATION
Battery Installation:
To install the battery, lift up on the battery compartment tab. Handle the
battery wires gently when attaching the battery to the snaps. Lay the
battery inside the compartment, tuck in the excess wire, and snap the
battery compartment shut.
Alkaline Batteries:
The Transmitter is supplied with a 9V alkaline battery (Eveready 522).
An alkaline battery will power the Transmitter for 5 - 6 hours of
continuous use, or 10 - 12 hours with intermittent use.
Lithium Batteries:
Lithium 9V batteries, such as the Kodak Ultralife, may also be used
when longer continuous battery life is needed. The Lithium batteries will
provide 20 -22 hours of continuous use.
Rechargeable Batteries:
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries!
The battery may rupture, causing injury or equipment damage.
There are two types of rechargeable batteries for the T8 Transmitter:
BAT 003 (VARTA TR 7/8):
The BAT 003 is a standard 9V package that fits in the Transmitter
battery compartment. It will provide about 2.5 hours of use per charge.
The BAT 003 can be charged with the BAT 005 or BAT 004 Charger.
Recharging requires 12-14 hours.
BAT SYS A (High-Capacity Battery Pack):
The BAT SYS A includes an external battery pack (BAT 018), heavy-
duty charger (BAT 019), and a special belt clip case (CCS 015) to hold
the battery pack and the Transmitter. It is intended for use in situations
that require extended operating time from a rechargeable battery. The
BAT 018 battery pack will provide about10 hours of use per charge.
Recharging requires 12-14 hours.
NOTE: The BAT 005 and BAT 004 Chargers CANNOT be used with the
BAT 018 Battery Pack. Use only the BAT 019 Charger with the
BAT 018 Extended Capacity Battery Pack.
