FITTING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

Open the receiver battery compartment by unclipping
the cover at the rear of the unit. Take care removing
old batteries and ensure correct polarity and connec-
tion when fitting new batteries. Use only the Fox
approved Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. Re-fit cover.
NOTE: Before using your receiver for the first time,
the batteries will require a full charge.

LOW BATTERY WARNING

The TXR Plus receiver incorporates a low battery
warning system which continuously monitors the bat-
tery condition. When a low battery is detected, the
four LEDs will flash briefly in sequence, approximately
once every 10 seconds. This is most likely to occur
after a run, as this is when the demand on the battery
is at its highest. When a low battery warning has been
observed, it is essential to recharge the batteries (if
the rechargeable batteries are in use) or replace them
(if non-rechargeable alkaline batteries are in use), in
order to ensure continued operation.

BATTERY LIFE EXPECTANCY

All types of rechargeable battery have a lower capacity
than the equivalent sized alkaline (non-rechargeable)
battery.
Using Nickel Metal Hydride batteries, you should
expect to re-charge the batteries roughly twice as
often as you would have to replace alkaline batteries.
So, for example, if you normally expect 1,000 hours
use from alkaline batteries, then you should expect to
perform a re-charge every 500 hours of use.
To avoid this problem, simply re-charge the batteries
before each session of use.
REPLACEMENT OF RECHARGEABLE
BATTERIES
In normal use, it should be possible to recharge the
batteries many hundreds of times. If, however, you
notice that it is becoming necessary to recharge more
often, then the batteries may require replacement.
Replace only with Fox approved Nickel Metal Hydride
batteries. The use of any other type of battery may
invalidate your warranty.

OPERATION OF RECHARGING FEATURE

1. Ensure that the rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride
rechargeable batteries supplied are fitted in the bat-
tery compartment.
2. Connect either the AC/DC adapter, or car charging
lead supplied, to the socket at the side of the unit.
3. Plug the AC/DC adapter into a wall socket, or insert
the car charging lead into a standard cigarette lighter
socket.
4. Observe the charging LED. The normal sequence is
as follows –
