Maintenance-free Lead Acid battery

Guidelines for maintenance-free Batteries:

1. Battery should operate at temperatures between 15°C ~ 50°C. To ensure a longer life span, it
should be kept between 5°C ~ 35°C. For optimum result, 20°C ~ 25°C will be ideal. When
temperature falls 15 degrees below zero, battery will undergo some changes in its chemical
contents and therefore cannot be recharged. Operating the battery at higher temperature will
result in higher capacity but shorter lifespan, whereas lower temperatures operation has a
longer lifespan but less capacity.

2. If the battery is not recharged 72 hrs after it is completely used, it will be permanently damaged.

3. When the battery is being charged, the internal gases will be electrolyzed into water at the
negative charge, maintaining the battery’s storage abilities with no water added. However,
erosion at the charged ends of the battery will cause poor performance.

4. The battery’s cycle lifespan ( no. of charge and discharge cycle ) is determined by the degree at
which power is dissipated., especially the degree of discharged each time it is used and the
recovery charging method. For normal use, the battery can be used for longer hours when less
power is dissipated each time and vice versa. At 25°C, maintenance-free batteries could be
charged 150 ~ 200 times at 100% discharge each time.

5. Decrease in capacity, internal short circuit, deformation in appearance, erosion of charged ends
and decrease in open circuit voltage are symbols indicating battery is approaching the end of its
life cycle.

6. When two batteries are used in parallel connection, the resistance of the cables should be kept
equal.

Properties of the Lead Acid Battery:

1. Has no memory effect. Can be charged at anytime, even when the recharge indication light is
not on.
2 .Performance and efficiency are affected by changes in the environment, especially temperature
and humidity. (Best operated between 20°C ~ 25°C)

3. Battery discharge naturally according to a certain pattern even not in use. For best performance
and a prolonged lifespan, it should be recharged every month even when not in use.

4. Under normal circumstances, battery could last for about a year.

5. When the battery’s life expires, possible indicators include internal short-circuit, decrease in
capacity, deformation in appearance, erosion of charged ends and decrease in operating
voltage.

User’s Precautions:

1. For first-time use, charge the battery for 10 hrs until it is fully charged.

2. To maintain performance and lifespan, if product has not been used for 3 months after the
initial shipment, please fully charge the battery.

3. Before each use, it’s advisable to charge the battery to its full capacity.

4. The average lifespan of the battery is one year. The user is advised to change the battery after
one year of use.

5. The current consumption is in direct ratio with load current. The more current consumption, the
less the operation time.

6. SMART and FOCUS operate on one 12V/2.7AH battery. ADVENTURE, CHALLENGER, and
VICTORY operate on two 12V/4.5AH batteries.

Input Level Gain Control Adjustment　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Low impedance ( Lo-Z ) " MT" & high impedance ( Hi-Z ) " GT" gain controls are situated
inside the transmitter as shown in Fig 10. Gain controls are adjustment ports that enable
you to use microphones of differing output levels and Guitar or instruments with Hi-Z output.
To adjust microphone ( Lo-Z ) input levels, turn the " MT" control and to adjust the Guitar or
instrument ( Hi-Z ) input, adjust the " GT" gain control to set the transmitter's desired audio
input level.

Caution and tips on how to obtain the best results　　　　　　　　

1.Before inserting the batteries, please make sure that they are inserted according to the
correct polarity.

2.For PLL-16-frequency agile version, before operation please make sure that the
corresponding receiver MUST have the same frequency group and channel number as the
transmitter.

3.For fixed frequency version, before operation please make sure that corresponding
receiver MUST have the same frequency as the transmitter.

4.Before making any channel change, please switch off the power supply. The synthesized
program works in such a way that a change of channel will only take place after a power off
and on action. Otherwise, the previously selected frequency will stay unchanged.

5.After making a channel change, please make sure that the corresponding change is made
on the matching receiver also. To be exact, changes MUST be made at both the transmitter
and receiver.

6.The audio cable of M-1002 and SM-916 also serve as antenna. The length of the cable is
cut according to the specific frequency range. Do not alter the length or mix around the
cable of different transmitters. The use of wrong audio cable will affect the antenna
efficiency of the transmitter!

7.Use only brand new Alkaline batteries. Do not use " general purpose " batteries. When
batteries are weak, replace the three batteries altogether at the same time. Do not mix and
use new and old batteries together.

8.Position the receiver such that it has the least possible obstructions between it and the
transmitter. Line of sight is best!

9.The transmitter and the receiver should be as close as possible but not less than 1m.

10.A receiver cannot receive signals from two or more transmitters simultaneously.

11.Turn the transmitter off when it is not in use. Remove the batteries if it is not to be used
for a period of time.

battery compartment cover, then insert the new battery according to its correct polarity as
indicated. For longer operation hour, Alkaline battery is recommended!
