5 Battery or accupack operation

The EK 3053-U can be powered by either batteries or rechargeable accupacks. We recommend using a 9 V PP3 battery (IEC 6 LR 61). If powered by a 9 V PP3 battery, the receiver has an operating time of approx. five hours with the volume set to a medium value. Since the power consumption depends to a large extent on the volume adjustment on the EK 3053-U, the operating time will be reduced by up to 30 % if the volume is set to a high value. The operating time can be increased by up to 20 % if you choose a low volume. If the receiver is operated with a rechargeable 9 V accupack, the operating time will be reduced to less than two hours.

6 Inserting / Changing the battery

Slide the cover of the battery compartment towards the bottom side of the receiver, then open the cover. Insert the 9 V PP3 battery as shown above. Close the battery compartment by carrying out the operating steps in reverse order.

To remove the battery, push the small lever

in the battery

compartment towards the bottom side of the receiver.

 

Note

Please observe correct polarity when inserting the battery!
