Batteries
Explanation:
Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage. Many
items sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries manufactured this
year will have an expiration date 10 years (or more) in the future. Battery technology has
improved and batteries will maintain voltage longer in storage. However, the environment the
batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power.
We suggest name brand Alkaline batteries for
indoor displays
.
A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.
Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier
than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.
Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio
frequency) interference from the battery compartment.
