Typical battery life
NOTES:
Battery life gures quoted in the above table are applicable to the RTS (model RTSQE) when used
with a RMI-QE interface/receiver. Using an RMI-Q interface/receiver will result in a reduction from the
gures quoted.
1% usage = 14 minutes/day.
5% usage = 72 minutes/day.
Battery life is dependent on the quality of the external RF environment in which the probing system is
operating.
