Radio Pack Batteries - Pliant Crewcom 2400 Operating Manual

Radio Pack Batteries

Radio Packs are powered with (1) Lithium-Polymer rechargeable battery (PBT-LIP-01) for greater than 10 hours
(2.4GHz) or 9 hours (900MHz).
The Radio Pack may also be powered by three (3) AA batteries. CoachComm recommends that only major brand,
standard batteries should be used for maximum reliability and effectiveness. The user should expect approximately 5
hours (2.4GHz) or 4.5 hours (900MHz) of operation using new AA batteries. Rechargeable AA batteries are not
supported.
There are several considerations the user should take into account when using AA batteries. The RP's battery level
and remaining battery time indicators only reflect battery life for lithium-polymer batteries; therefore, those screen
options will not be used when AA batteries are in use. In cold weather, AA batteries do not release their stored energy
completely, so the result is a dramatic reduction in operation time. It would not be uncommon to have an AA battery
only last 50% of its original life when used in very cold situations.
CAUTION: If using AA batteries instead of lithium-polymer batteries, remove the AA batteries from the
Radio Pack when not in use to avoid potential damage from leaking battery acid that can sometimes
occur in these types of batteries.
