Batteries
The locator and transmitter are battery powered.
The RD8000 locators are provided with a rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery
pack as standard. The RD8000 locators can also be powered using good quality D-cell
alkaline or NiMH batteries.
Transmitters can be powered by D-cell alkaline batteries (as standard), D-cell NiMH
batteries, or by an optional accessory Li-Ion battery pack. Alternatively, you can power
the transmitter from a mains or vehicle power source using a Radiodetection supplied
optional accessory adapter.
If using D-Cells it is important to set the system to match the currently installed battery
