Operation

If the On/Standby switch on the TS400 is in the On ( ) position and the optional S400 Remote Switch is in the Standby ( ) position (see “Important” on page 3–4), the TS400 draws very little current (about 1 mA) from the battery.

Using the Optional S400 Remote Switch

	The S400 Remote Switch performs the same function as the On/Standby
	switch on the TS400.

	Important: For the Remote Switch to function, the On/Standby switch
	on the TS400 must be turned to the On (		) position.


Purpose	The S400 Remote Switch provides On/Standby control of the TS400 from
	a convenient location of up to 25 feet (7.5 meters) away using the
	supplied telephone cable.
Cable length	You can use a longer cable up to a maximum recommended length of 50
	feet (15 meters). Xantrex recommends using a high quality 4-wire
	telephone cable wth 6-position, 4-contact connectors.
