Batteries
Axient transmitters are powered by a Shure lithium-ion rechargeable
battery.
Caution: Turn off the transmitter before changing batteries.
Note: Refer to your battery charger manual for charging instructions.
Battery Runtime Chart
Battery runtime varies according to the transmitter’s operating mode.
Higher power settings will reduce battery runtime.
Remaining battery runtime is shown on the display in the form of a bat-
tery indicator icon and approximate time in hours and minutes.

eligible to bear the CE mark:
WEEE Directive 2002/95/EC as amended by 2008/34/EC.
RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC as amended by 2008/35/EC.
Meets requirements of EMC standards EN 300 328, EN 300 422 Parts 1
and 2, and EN 301 489 Parts 1 and 9.
Certified under FCC Part 15 and FCC Part 74.
Certified in Canada by IC to RSS-123 and RSS-210.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-
003 du Canada.
FCC ID: DD4AXT210. IC: 616A-AXT210.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation
of the device.
This radio transmitter 616A-AXT610 has been approved by Industry
Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the
maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each
antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a
gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only
operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain
approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is
not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent
émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un
gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie
Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique
à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et
son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente
(p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une
communication satisfaisante.
Le présent émetteur radio 616A-AXT610 a été approuvé par Industrie
Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d’antenne énumérés ci-
dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance requise
pour chaque type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus dans
cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont
strictement interdits pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est
autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l’appareil ne
doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit
accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Information to the user
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
