Your R-31 Receiver and

Disposable Alkaline or 1.2v AA NiMH (nickel metal hydride)

A
NiMH (nickel metal hydride) battery can have two to three times the
capacity of an equivalent size NiCd and the memory effect is not as significant.
Life expectancy is six months to one year.
Brand new batteries, or
batteries which have been unused for some time, need "reforming" to reach their
full capacity. For this reason new batteries may need several charge/discharge cycles
before they operate to their advertised capacity.
Avoid overheating, heat is

1.2 Volt AA Rechargeable
NiMH Battery
MSRP: $9.00 |
The Pocketalker can use either 2 AAA Disposable Alkaline
or 2 AAA Rechargeable batteries
Rechargeable batteries. (Ask about our recharging unit.) NEVER
try to recharge regular disposable alkaline batteries. You can damage the unit and you
will void your warranty.
You can purchase your batteries anywhere good batteries are sold. Also, check the expiration
date to be sure they're fresh.
Important: Insert your batteries exactly as shown on the diagram inside your battery compartment, (note that the
positive ends are opposite of each other). Note: To help you see which way to
insert your batteries, you can place a bright colored dot on each side of your diagram's
positive (+) side inside your battery
compartment. Caution:: Batteries installed incorrectly can overheat, leak and result
in unit overheating and damage. Check immediately that your batteries are installed
correctly.
Do not leave batteries in units for extended periods of time. Remove the batteries
to prevent possible corrosion.
Check batteries before you leave home to be sure that you have enough power for
your day. You don't want to run out of battery power unexpectedly, or when you need it the
most. Get a good battery tester. You'll also want to always have spare batteries
with you. (Better safe than sorry.)
Turn off the unit/s when not in use. Double check the transmitter
an Receiver is turned off to be sure the batteries don't drain overnight by
mistake.
Store batteries aligned side by side (if they're loose, rubberband them
together). Don't let them touch each other or something else that can shorten their
battery life. (See example; don't just loosely toss batteries in a drawer, pocket or
purse.) In general; treat your batteries and units with care. Do not leave in hot places,
(inside a vehicle for example). Don't allow them to get wet.
Keep good batteries in a dark, cool place. Don't store batteries in the
refrigerator, as they warm up, the condensation can damage the unit.
Put all used batteries (including hearing aid batteries) in a container.
When the container is full, take it to your "Hazardous Waste Center"
nearest you. It's free to drop off and you'll be helping our environment. |
