10. Getting started with the transmitter
In the operating instructions, the numbers in the text always refer to the figure
opposite or the figures within the section. Cross references to other figures are
indicated with the respective number.
a) Inserting the batteries/rechargeable batteries
For the power supply of the transmitter you will need 8 alkaline batteries (e.g. Conrad item no.:
650117), or rechargeable batteries size mignon (AA). For ecological and also for economical
reasons it is recommended to use rechargeable batteries, since they can be recharged in the
transmitter via a built-in charging socket.
For inserting the batteries or rechargeable batteries, proceed as follows:
• The battery compartment lid (1) is located at the bot-
tom of the transmitter. Please press the corrugated
triangle (2) and push off the lid downward.
• Now insert the eight batteries in the battery com-
partment. Pay attention to the correct polarity of the
cells. The negative pole (housing) of the battery or
rechargeable battery must have contact with the spi-
ral spring (3).
• Afterwards slide the lid of the battery compartment
back on and let the locking mechanism click into place.
b) Charging the transmitter batteries
When you operate the transmitter with rechargeable
batteries you can connect a charging cable to the charg-
ing socket (1) and charge the batteries in the transmit-
ter, while the transmitter is switched off.
Note!
Connect the charger only if the rechargeable batteries (1.2V/cell) have been in-
serted in the transmitter. Never try to recharge standard batteries (1.5V/cell) with
a charger; danger of explosion and of fire!
