NiMH rechargeable batteries may be used. However, the low battery indicator functions differently. When it turns red, there
may be little to no remaining life.
When the LED flashes red, the batteries must be replaced to power on the transmitter.
Wearing the Bodypack Transmitter
Clip the transmitter to a belt or slide a guitar strap through the transmitter clip as shown.
For best results, the belt should be pressed against the base of the clip.
