Precision Locator

Radiodetection precision locators and transmitters support Lithium-Ion, Alkaline or Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.

You should set the Locator and transmitter battery type to match the currently installed type. This is to ensure optimal performance and correct battery level indication.

Lithium-Ion batteries will automatically be detected by the locator.

Charging the lithium ion packs

WARNING! Only use charging equipment provided by Radiodetection. The use of alternative chargers may cause a safety hazard and/or reduce the life of the battery.

CAUTION: Do not let your battery completely discharge as this may reduce its life or damage it permanently. If you are not using your equipment for a long period do charge them at least once a month.

WARNING! Batteries can get hot after prolonged use at full output power. Take care while replacing or handling batteries.

WARNING! Do not tamper with, or attempt to disassemble the battery packs.

CAUTION: If battery failure is suspected or if the battery shows any sign of discoloration / physical damage return the entire unit to an authorized repair center for investigation and repair. Local, national or IATA transport regulations may restrict the shipment of faulty batteries. Check with your courier for restrictions and best practice guidelines. Your local Radiodetection representative will be able to direct you to our authorized repair centers.

You can re-charge your batteries using the Radiodetection mains or automotive chargers.

NOTE: The charging temperature range is 0 to 45 °C, 32 to 113°F. Do not attempt to recharge your batteries outside this temperature range

WARNING! do not heat the rechargeable battery pack above 60°C (140°F) as this will damage the battery's thermal fuses.

WARNING! Do not crush, do not heat or incinerate, do not short circuit, do not dismantle, do not immerse in any liquid. The cells inside may vent or rupture. Observe charging instructions.
