Getting Started
Installing/Changing Batteries
To install batteries into the NaviTrack line transmitter,
turn the knob on the battery holder counter clockwise.
The battery carriage will pull out slightly. Pull straight
back on the knob to slide out. Insert the batteries as
shown on the inside decal.
Fit the carriage into the case and turn the knob
clockwise while lightly pushing in to close. The
battery carriage can be installed in either orientation.
Figure 2: Inserting Battery Case
Note: When replacing batteries use 8 D cells that
are the same type. Do not mix Alkaline with NiCad,
for example. Be sure to replace with batteries
where all of the cells have the same amount of
charge. Do not mix half-used cells with new.
CAUTION
Always remove batteries before shipping the
unit.
Operation Time
Typical operation time for the NaviTrack line
transmitter, when using alkaline cells, is about 12.5
hours depending on factors such as load and current
transmitted. Other factors that affect the operation
time will include chemistry of the battery. (Many of
the new high performance batteries, such as the
"Duracell ® ULTRA", last 10%-20% longer than

conventional alkaline cells under high demand
applications). Operation at low temperatures will
reduce battery life.Typical operating times will be
generally on the order of those shown here.

Batteries can recover after being subjected to high
loads. If time is allowed, batteries may recover
enough to offer additional hours of operation.
Optional External Power Source
Use only a power supply approved to IEC 61010-1 or
IEC 60950. Output must be isolated, SELV and
Limited-Energy Circuit per IEC 61010-1 or LPS per
IEC 60950, 12-15VDC, 30W minimum. Output
connection is standard barrel plug, 2.1mm pin, tip
positive.
If the line transmitter is powered by a vehicle
12 VDC cigarette lighter connection, and the
line transmitter is connected to a power line,
the vehicle is now connected to that power
line. The vehicle is now at a potentially lethal
voltage. If the vehicle is grounded, the line
transmitter may be destroyed.
