Getting Started
Battery Information
The MultiMAX requires two AA size (IEC: LR6)
batteries. The MultiMAX will operate normally with
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), Lithium Ion (Li), Nickel
Cadium (NiCad) and Alkaline batteries.
Alkaline batteries are recommended.
Inserting Batteries
1. Set power switch to OFF position
2. Open battery door
3. Insert fresh batteries noting correct orientation
as displayed in battery compartment
4. Close battery door
5. Use unit normally
N Erratic unit behavior or malfunction may occur if
batteries are inserted while the power switch is set to
either RECEIVE or TRANSMIT. Always make sure
the power switch is set to OFF before changing or
inserting batteries.
Battery Life
The MultiMAX displays remaining battery life with a 3 segment battery icon in the
upper left corner of the LCD:
3 segments displayed = batteries are fresh/new
2 segments displayed = batteries are good
1 segment displayed = replace batteries soon
0 segments displayed = install fresh/new batteries immediately
With one set of standard Alkaline batteries the MultiMAX will operate for approximately
150 hours. This time may vary depending on temperature, battery type, and the
quality of batteries used. Extensive use of back light, speaker, or extended trigger
contact times will consume the batteries at a faster rate.
