BATTERY INFORMATION
GENERAL
Improper battery selection, use, installation
and care are the cause of numerous wireless
system failures.
Alkaline Batteries:
Alkaline batteries such as
Mallory’s
DURACELL or Eveready’s ENER-
GIZER provide the most reliable operation in
wireless transceivers. The use of low cost car-
bon-zinc batteries is NOT recommended.
Nickel-Cadmium Batteries:
These batteries
can save you money
in the long run, as they
can be recharged, but they can also
cause dis-
appointing wireless performance. Typical bat-
tery life is one fourth or less of the alkaline
battery. If you want to use rechargeable
nickel-cadmium batteries you must select a
heavy duty nickel-cadmium (NEDA 10015 or
equivalent)
