The W-DMX G4 MicroBox units are equipped with a holder for 6 AAA batteries. When batteries are in place on the
unit, and 12VDC power is disconnected, the units will run of battery power. The signal indicator will then cycle
between BATT and SIGNAL every 10 seconds. When the BATT light is lit, the signal bars are indicating battery
charge, and when the SIGNAL light is lit, the signal bars indicate signal strength.
Note that, when running off battery power, there is an on-off switch located on the side of the unit. If this switch
is moved to off position, the unit will turn off when on battery power.
On average, a W-DMX receiver can receive for approximately 8 hours on batteries, and transmit for 2 hours. This
is dependent on the brand of batteries used. We recommend testing the discharge time on your selected batteries
before using them in a show environment. The W-DMX G4 micro units are compatible with rechargeable batteries
(down to 1.2V DC per cell).
