Battery Management

Battery life will be maximised if the FlashMic is switched off when not in use, as the power consumed in IDLE mode is virtually the same as in REC mode.

The internal clock settings are protected within FlashMic for approximately 1 minute after the batteries are removed. Recorded sound files and configuration settings are not affected by battery removal.

Remove any batteries from the FlashMic if it is to be unused for an extended period (more than a month).

Battery Status Indicator

A 4-segment battery status indicator is provided on the LCD display.

The number of segments displayed is proportional to the battery power remaining. The rate of change of the display can be altered (via the menu system or via the FlashMic Manager software) to reflect the different discharge characteristics of alkaline or rechargeable batteries.

The display backlight, the record LED on the FlashMic base and the battery indicator will all flash when the remaining battery life approaches zero.
