Batteries and Power On/Off

DigiTrak Falcon F2 dual wideband transmitters require two C-cell alkaline batteries or one

DCI SuperCell

™

lithium battery providing a maximum of 3.6 VDC. Alkaline batteries will last

up to 20 hours, whereas a SuperCell battery will last up to 70 hours.

Warning Never use damaged or non-DCI lithium batteries. Never use two C-cell lithium

batteries providing a combined voltage above 3.6 VDC.

DCI SuperCell lithium 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

DCI transmitters power on as soon as the batteries and battery cap are properly installed. To

install the batteries:

1. Remove the battery cap from the transmitter using a large slotted screwdriver and

rotating the cap counterclockwise.

2. Insert the battery or batteries into the transmitter with the positive terminals first. When

using two C-cell batteries, include the battery contact spring that came with the

transmitter as shown below.
