How to set AA battery type: Nickel-metal hydride (NiMHi) or Alkaline for wireless beltpacks

FreeSpeak II wireless beltpacks are supplied with Li-Ion batteries and battery charger.  However, in some cases you may wish to use AA batteries.  You may need to use standard AA alkaline batteries, or in a high atmospheric pressure (hyperbaric) environment, where you can’t use Li-ion batteries, you may need to use NiMHi batteries. 

When using AA batteries of either kind, it is helpful to set battery type so that battery capacity can be monitored accurately. NiMHi batteries and alkaline batteries have different discharge patterns and setting this option will allow for that.

AA Battery type must be set in the EHX software.

  1. Open the EHX configuration software and navigate to Preferences/Wireless Beltpacks/Battery type.
  1. Select required battery type, NiMHi or Alkaline.
Note: The default setting for AA battery type is Alkaline.
