LCD REMOTE CONTROL TRANSCEIVER:
A. BATTERY CHANGING:
Depending on the usage, the remote batteries should be changed at least once a year in the one way
remote and once every 4-5 months for the two-way remote.
The 1-way remote, (E-7s) is powered by a pair of 3V, CR2016 batteries. These batteries are available at
most locations batteries are sold and can be replaced by the user.
Battery Level Indicator (2-way remote)
The Battery Level indicator has three level indicators that serve as a visual indication of battery charge.
When the battery reaches a low charge level that requires changing, the remote control will generate a
single notification chirp, and the Battery Level indicator will flash continuously. If the battery voltage is
LOW, the range of the remote will be reduced by 50% to conserve battery life. The two way remote
requires 2, 3 Volt CR2032 batteries. The operation lives of these batteries are affected by many factors
including, temperature, usage, back-light ON time and programmable “in range status settings”. Do not
allow these batteries to corrode or become wet for any extended period of time.
