PCB NiCad to alkaline battery adapter. In addition, the Musketeer XS Pro is
provided with a drop-in NiCad battery pack and battery charger. (These items

accessories.)

Imw Battery Warning and NiCad Recharging
When the batteries are reaching the point at which they will no longer operate
the Musketeers, a distinct sharp "pip" will sound from the speaker (or
headphones) approximately every 30 seconds. When this tone is heard, there
will be approximately 15 to 20 minutes of life left in the batteries. It is
recommended that the batteries be replaced as soon as possible to avoid
missing any targets.
The NiCad battery charger can be recharged using cither a mains-powered
charger or a 12V charger that can be plugged into the cigarct lighter of your
vehicle.
