MAINTAINING YOUR BATTERY PACK

For information on removing, fitting and recharging the battery pack, refer to 'GETTING
STARTED' on page 5 of this manual.
Your TX6200 is supplied with a 7.2 Volt 1200 mAh Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable
battery pack.
When the battery pack is new, it must be fully charged before being used for the first time.
If left unused, your TX6200's battery pack will discharge itself within a few months. If you have
not used your TX6200 for some time, you will need to recharge the battery pack before use.
The battery pack is a sealed unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
WARNING. Use only GME Electrophone approved battery packs and chargers. The use of
any other types may be dangerous and will void any warranty.

LOW BATTERY INDICATORS

When the battery voltage drops to around 6 Volts, your TX6200 will give 6 quick beeps, BATT
will flash on the display and the Tx/Busy LED will flash 'Orange' to indicate that the battery
needs to be charged. You should recharge the battery pack as soon as possible.
If you have been transmitting using the High Power setting, you can extend the life by switching
to Low transmit power.

BATTERY CHARGING

It is recommended that you charge your TX6200's battery using the BCT001 trickle charger
supplied. The BCT001 can recharge your battery pack in around 8-10 hours, less if there is still
some charge remaining. The charger will then continue to trickle charge the battery, however,
for maximum long term battery life it is recommeded you disconnect the charger when charging
is complete.
USE ONLY GME ELECTROPHONE APPROVED CHARGERS. USE OF OTHER TYPES MAY BE
DANGEROUS AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. DO NOT CONNECT YOUR VEHICLE'S 13.8
VOLT BATTERY SUPPLY TO THE CHARGING SOCKET AS DAMAGE WILL RESULT.

CYCLING YOUR BATTERY PACK

Cycling of your Ni-MH battery should not be necessary. However, for maximum performance
we recommend that you try to fully discharge the battery from time to time before recharging it.
