It is possible that new rechargeable batteries cannot be fully charged
to 100 % in the first few charging cycles.
The remaining operating time may still be unclear after the first few
charging cycles. This will improve over time after more charging cycles
because the rechargeable battery calibrates itself.

mitter:
▷Open the battery compartment on the SK 6212 bodypack transmitter as
shown in the figure.
▷Insert the BA 62 rechargeable battery into the SK 6212 bodypack trans-
mitter as shown in the figure.
