NFORMATION
1
SOLO is designed to operate on two standard AA alkaline batteries. AA
lithium batteries and AA alkaline rechargeable batteries may also be used,
however the resulting battery life will vary. We do not recommend using
NiCad rechargeable batteries.
Installing SOLO’s Batteries
1 Make sure SOLO is turned off.
2 Turn SOLO upside down. Depress the
battery door and sliding in the direction
of the arrow, remove door from the
battery compartment.
3 Remove any old batteries (both batteries MUST
be replaced at the same time).
4 Observing the polarity indication inside the battery
compartment, insert two fresh AA alkaline batteries.
5 Replace battery door.
6 Turn SOLO on to verify correct battery installation.
NOTE: Please dispose of used batteries properly in accordance with
federal, state and local requirements.
Battery Life
SOLO’s efficient design provides the typical driver with about 50 hours of
battery life from two AA alkaline batteries. Battery life is affected by many
variables, including the brand and age of the batteries, the ambient
temperature, how many and what type of alerts SOLO receives (weak
signals use less battery power than full alerts). In addition, the way you
use SOLO’s alert system will affect the battery life (low audio volume uses
less power than full volume, and Dim mode uses less power than normal
mode). The approximate battery life figures we quote are based on
laboratory testing, using fresh batteries. Your specific conditions and
usage may result in longer or shorter battery life.
Battery Life Indication
As discussed in the Signal Meter section on page 7, remaining battery life
is displayed on SOLO's Signal Meter both at power up and power down.
NOTE: Extreme temperature conditions can cause SOLO's Battery Life
Indication to be inaccurate until SOLO's temperature returns to normal.
REGARDLESS OF YOUR ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE, SOLO’S PERFOR-
MANCE WILL NOT DEGRADE AS BATTERY VOLTAGE BEGINS TO
DROP. SOLO IS DESIGNED TO SHUT DOWN BEFORE PERFORMANCE
IS IMPAIRED BY WEAK BATTERIES.
For best battery performance:
Purchase fresh, name brand batteries.
Store batteries in their original packaging before use to prevent the
