Use of Rechargeable Batteries

The OtoRead is designed for use with 1.5v AA/UM-3/R6 Alkaline
batteries.
Rechargeable batteries are not recommended for use with the
OtoRead, however should you choose to use them, the OtoRead
requires the use of 1.6v high voltage Nickel Zinc rechargeable
battery types. Other types of rechargeable batteries such as 1.2v
Nickel-Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries must not be used as
they do not provide enough power to the device.
Rechargeable batteries can typically be purchased in a 4 pack with a
charger. A 3-5 hour fast charger is recommended as this type
charges the batteries at a lower current, increasing the life of the
batteries. The PowerGenix ZR-PGX5HRAA-4B, 3-5-Hour Fast
Charger with 4 AA 1.6v High Voltage Rechargeable Batteries fit this
description.
Be aware that using rechargeable batteries may cause the following:
1. The low battery message generated by the instrument mail fail
to be triggered. In this case, the instrument display may go
blank or the instrument may fail to power on without warning.
If this occurs, replace the current batteries with newly
recharged batteries.
