Battery Power Alert
When the battery icon blinks on the display, the
battery level is low and the batteries should be replaced
(or recharged if NiCads). If the batteries are not replaced
an audio tone will sound to warn the user that the batteries
must be replaced.
The following guidelines will improve performance and
provide longer operating times for the TX610.
1. Do not mix old and new batteries.
2. The use of alkaline-type batteries is recommended
to provide the longest operating time.
3. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or
rechargeable batteries.
4. If the unit is not to be used for an extended periods
of time, remove the batteries. Old or leaking
batteries can cause damage to the unit and will
void the warranty.
