3. Leave overnight. A nine-hour charge cycle will charge the
batteries about 90%. A ten-hour charge cycle will fully
charge the receiver. The internal batteries can not be
overcharged.
The speed of the charge depends on the Power and Charger
settings on the Receiver Configuration screen, and whether the
receiver is turned off or on. See “Power Management” on
page 2-5 for more information.
The Li-Ion batteries used in the receiver should run at no less
than 98% capacity after 500 charging cycles. These batteries do
not need to be drained before recharging.
External Batteries
In addition to the internal batteries, you can use your receiver
with external batteries (Figure 2-1 on page 2-4). External
batteries allows you to continue using the receiver in case the
internal batteries are discharged and requires the following:
• a 12 V, 2.3 A*h battery
• a 2.3 A*h battery clip-to-SAE cable
• an SAE-to-Power Plug cable

NOTICE
When the receiver uses external batteries, set the
charger mode to Off. Otherwise, the external batteries
will also charge internal batteries, causing operation time
to decrease. See “Power Management” on page 2-5 for
more information on setting the charger mode.
1. Connect the SAE ends of the battery clip-to-SAE and the
SAE-to-power plug cables.
2. Plug the power cable into the receiver’s power port.
3. Attach the battery clip to the battery.
