How to Install Batteries
With normal operation and high quality alkaline batteries, the SM3BAT can record approximately nights of full spectrum triggered recordings and approximately nights of triggered zero crossing recordings.. The SM3BAT enters a very low power state when not recording.
1.
Purchase four (4) new size D batteries of the same type. Alkaline batteries are recommended.
■
Do not mix batteries of different types, and do not mix old and new batteries.
■
Prior to installation, we recommend that you test all batteries with a high quality pulse load battery tester such as the ZTS MINI-MBT.
2.
Position your thumb and index finger into opposing beveled grooves of the battery bay cover.
3.
Turn up to 90 degrees counterclockwise to remove. The spring-loaded cover opens and the old batteries emerge.
4.
Remove the two old batteries and insert two new batteries with the (+) positive ends up toward the cover as shown below.
5.
Re-apply the cover. Align the notches and then turn the cover 90 degrees
clockwise, but no more than 90 degrees. Some force is required to seat the cover.
6.
Repeat for the two batteries in the other battery bay. page
