Battery information

The battery in your Aarcomm remote is rechargeable and typically lasts between five and ten years depending on environmental exposure, recharge cycles, and discharge rate. After 2000 full charging cycles, users typically notice only a 20% reduction in battery capacity.

You can manage the discharge rate of by adjusting the radio power settings.

Battery replacements

To keep the IP67 waterproof rating on the remote, we design the remotes with batteries that aren't replaceable in the field. Don't open your device for battery replacement or any other service, as doing so might affect the waterproof rating and void the warranty.

Aarcomm offers battery replacement services and they are free for remotes still under warranty. If the battery in your remote isn't meeting your daily operational needs or if you see a battery error on the remote, you may need to have the battery replaced.

Battery performance and range

Aarcomm remotes have superior range and battery performance but there is a tradeoff. Depending on your needs and the locations you use your remote, you may need:

• Strong signal range
• Long battery life
• A balance of the two

You can adjust the settings on your remote by accessing configuration mode (H106, H212, S111).

In configuration mode, go to the Radio Performance section and choose the options that work best for you.
