RD4000T10
As the battery level depletes, the battery indicator black segments extinguish in turn. When only the bottom
segment is visible, it starts flashing on and off and eventually only the battery outline is visible. The outline starts
to flash off for one second and on for four seconds and the sounder emits a warning beep tone every five
seconds. At this stage, the transmitter defaults to one-watt maximum power output and ‘1 WATT’ scrolls across
the top of the display. If the batteries are not changed or recharged at this point, the unit will eventually switch
off. The locate signal also pulses on and off at the same rate except when using PPL, FF, A.C.ID and PCM
modes. When using these modes the locate signal continues without pulsing until the batteries are completely
flat.
RD4000T10 battery life consumption
Using the T10 transmitter at its higher power output levels, increases battery consumption. To indicate when
high power is being used ‘HI POWER’ scrolls from right to left across the top of the screen whenever the
transmitter is generating more than 5 watts output power. If possible reduce power below 5 watts output to
conserve battery life.
Fitting and replacing transmitter batteries
Warning. Do not mutilate, puncture, or dispose of batteries by placing them in a fire. The batteries can
burst or explode, releasing hazardous chemicals.
Discard used batteries in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and your local regulations.
Caution. When replacing batteries always ensure that the correct type of batteries are fitted.
Keep the battery tray dry whilst changing the batteries.
Alkaline batteries
Always fit or replace batteries as a set. If the T10 transmitter batteries are not replaced as a set, the battery
level indicator will not give a reliable indication of battery level.
• To remove the battery-housing, place the transmitter on a level surface and push down the battery housing
retaining clip at the rear of the transmitter (see illustration). Lift off the transmitter top and place it to one side
• Remove the batteries and dispose of them in accordance
with local regulations
• Fit the new batteries, ensuring that they are placed in
the tray in the correct polarity orientation (refer to
illustration). The orientation is also marked in the
battery housing
• Replace the transmitter top onto the battery housing
and push down on the carrying handle until the
retaining clip clicks into place
