Battery - Charging
The X10DR Secure Wireless Microphone should be charged overnight
before initial use. Thereafter it may be left in the charger unit between
calls, or may be worn all day and placed back at the end of the work
day. The unit is designed to provide about 15-24 hours operation between
charges even on the busiest radio channels. On quiet channels it can last
up to 3-4 days. When the battery does start to go flat, a short beep will
sound once every 2 minutes. It will then automatically power down after
about 30 minutes, so you should plan to re-charge the unit as soon as is
practical once the chirps are heard.
A fully discharged battery will typically recharge in less than 3-4 hours,
or less if only partially discharged. The battery will re-charge even if the
mobile charger unit has been turned off. The microphone’s blue status
light will indicate charging by a momentary double flash every 10 seconds.
When complete the blue LED will remain solid.
Simply place handset into pocket. X10DR will beep
to show correct placement.
NB: do not allow debris to fill the pocket as it may
prevent the microphone from making contact with
the charging pins. Keep all liquids well away from
the charging cradle at all times.
When you notice the X10DR sounding a small chirp
every five minutes, it indicates the battery is nearly
flat and should be re-charged. The unit will self
power down when voltage drops to the minimum
level. When you notice this occurring far more often
than usual, it may mean it is time for the battery to
be replaced.
Like all re-chargeable products, periodic
replacement of the internal battery is required.
The Secure Wireless Microphone features a high
capacity Lithium Ion battery. To maximize the life of
a Lithium battery its is better to keep it topped up by
returning it to the charger often rather than waiting
for it to first go flat - which was the opposite case
with older nickel based batteries. Typically you can
expect to get about 500 complete re-charge cycles
before requiring replacement.
