Here are a few tips on how to check the battery life in technologies you use everyday:

Wireless microphones

• Typically contain a four-segment indicator for the life of a battery. Segments can be found on the transmitter on most microphones and on some receivers.
• Rule of thumb for changing the battery: two segments or less = change the battery
• Check the battery life of each microphone before conferences and meetings. If the meeting will last all day, start with a fresh battery.

Wireless remotes

• Typically don’t have meters that show how much battery is remaining
• We recommend that you change the batteries in handheld remotes once a year to prevent failure.
• Frequent use of wireless remotes may require batteries to be changed more often.

Rechargeable batteries

• When buying rechargeable batteries, make sure the charger unit has an automatic shut off when the battery is charged. Over charging batteries will shorten the life of a battery, and even rechargeable batteries have a limited lifespan.
• Crestron, the industry leader in system automation controls, recommends that rechargeable battery units be changed once a year.

It’s a new year; why not start with new batteries in all of your wireless units. Live Technologies can help!

The FCC has licensed a new low power TV station, broadcasting from downtown Columbus, which is affecting wireless units around the Columbus area. The broadcast frequency range is TV Channel 44 or 644 to 656 Mhz. If you have a frequency agile system, fixing that buzz is a matter of finding new open channels. Live Technologies Service Department can help you get your systems running like never before, and buzz free!
