*The range of any transmitter is largely dependent upon the amount of interference at a job site. The
range decreases as interference increases.
Batteries and Power On/Off
The long-range transmitters each require two C-cell alkaline batteries or one DCI SuperCell lithium
battery. The extended long-range transmitters require one DCI SuperCell lithium battery. It is not practical
to use alkaline batteries in the extended long-range transmitters, because they would last only a few
hours. The short-range FS transmitter requires one AA alkaline battery.
Installing Batteries / Power On
The transmitter is powered on once the batteries are installed properly. To install the batteries:
1. Using a large flathead screw driver, remove the battery cap from the transmitter by rotating it
counterclockwise. The FPT transmitter’s battery cap is removed by gripping the knurled cap and
rotating it counterclockwise.
2. Insert the battery or batteries into the transmitter with the positive terminals first. When using two
C-cell batteries in the long-range transmitters, performance is improved by placing a spring
between the batteries, as shown below.
