BATTERY INFORMATION
GENERAL__
Improper battery selection, use, installation and
care are the cause of numerous wireless
microphone system failures.
ALKALINE BATTERIES
__
Alkaline batteries such as Mallory's
DURACELL® or Eveready's ENERGIZER®
provide the most reliable operation in wireless
microphone transmitters. Low cost carbon zinc
"bargain" batteries are lower cost but will not
sufficiently operate the transmitter.
NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES
Nickel-Cadmium batteries can save you money
in the long run, as they can be recharged, but
nickel-cadmium's can dso cause disappointing
wireless performance.
If you want to use
rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries you
must select a "heavy duty" nickel-cadmium.
Conventional "9 volt size" such as GE® or
Radio Shack® are only capable of providing
7.2 volts, which is not sufficient to power the
Telex WT-55 and HT-200 transmitters.
