Front Panel Indicator Lights: Models 6502 and 6507 Saturation Indicator—Illuminates when input signal intensity exceeds the 1 dB compression level of 5 volts per meter (Model 6502) to 10 volts per meter (Model 6507), and will remain illuminated for about 1 second.
Battery Charger: Models 6502 and 6507 The Model 6502 and Model 6507 are powered by two 6-VDC, sealed lead-acid batteries. The included battery charger is intended for charging only the sealed lead-acid batteries in ETS-Lindgren products. The Model 6502 is not designed to operate using the battery charger as a power source.
Trickle Charge mode—The battery charger is in trickle charge mode when the Power On LED is illuminated and the Fast Charge LED is dark. When not in use, connect the loop antenna to the battery charger in trickle charge mode. www.ets-lindgren.com Operation...
