2.2.3 Battery <strong>Power</strong><br />

Your transmitter can operate on a DC power source (such as 3 or 4, 12–volt automotive<br />

batteries connected in series). The FM30 requires 28 volts DC for full<br />

output power, while the FM100 requires 36 volts, and FM250 requires 62 volts for<br />

full output power. Connect the batteries to the red (+) and black (–) battery input<br />

binding posts on the rear panel.<br />

CAUTION<br />

Possible equipment damage!<br />

Never connect a battery charger to the<br />

input terminals of the transmitter<br />

unless a battery is also connected.<br />

Voltage peaks from a typical charger<br />

(without the load of a battery) can be<br />

destructive to the transmitter.<br />

2.3 Frequency (Channel) Selection<br />

You may select an operating frequency of 87 to 108 MHz in the FM broadcast band.<br />

Pins 9 and 10 of HD2 on the RF Exciter board are jumpered for frequencies<br />

other than these such as the optional Japan frequencies of 76-90 MHz.<br />

To adjust the operating frequency, follow these steps:<br />

1. Remove the top cover by removing 18 screws.<br />
