This product is intended for use with regular 1.5-V, rechargeable and nonrechargeable, AA bat- teries. Do NOT use higher voltage batteries (including 3.6V Li- SOCl2 AA cells) as these will cause dam- age to the unit. Powering the MobileMapper Beacon The MobileMapper Beacon system includes four AA alkaline batteries for power. You may alternatively use four 1.5-V Lithium batteries (such as the Energizer® e² Lithium) or four NiMH (nickel metal hydride) rechargeable batteries, as long as you do not mix battery types. NiMH batteries, being rechargeable, offer economy but if you are going to work in cold weather, you should be aware that the charge capacity of NiMH technology decreases with falling temperatures. Please also keep in mind that if you use NiMH batteries, they need to be freshly charged before use if they are been stored for a long period of time. Although you may load individual batteries into the MobileMapper Beacon, the system includes two battery clips to ease battery loading. You may insert four AA batteries into each of the clips, drop one clip into the battery compartment and store the spare clip in the mesh pouch on the side of the belt-mounted carrying system. 5
