Short-Range FS Transmitter
The short-range FS transmitter provides a depth range of approximately 15 ft (4.6 m). It measures 8 in.
(20.3 cm) long and 1.00 in. (2.54 cm) in diameter.
NOTE: The range of any transmitter with any DCI receiver 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 FX transmitter requires two C-cell alkaline batteries or one DCI SuperCell Lithium Battery.
The extended-range FXL requires one DCI SuperCell battery. The FS transmitter requires one AA
alkaline battery.
NOTE: Do not use alkaline batteries in the FXL transmitter; they would last only a few hours. Never
use damaged or non-DCI lithium batteries. DCI SuperCell batteries are manufactured to
military specifications. The use of damaged or lower-quality lithium batteries may damage the
transmitter and/or housing and will void the DCI warranty.
Installing Batteries / Power On
The transmitter is powered on once the batteries are installed properly. To install batteries into the
transmitter, first remove the battery cap by rotating it counterclockwise. Then insert the batteries positive
terminal first into the battery compartment, as shown below. Replace the battery cap, ensuring that it
bottoms out for a proper seal.
