PR-216 / TV 5-6 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Monitoring Capabilities Because each monitoring application requires a different headphone or transducer to best satisfy each listening need, the PR-216 can source a strong audio signal (+16 dBu) to either stereo or mono headphones with an impedance as low as 16 ohm. A hearing-aid type button receiver may be used with impedances as high as 2 k ohm and still produce a strong audio signal.
PR-216 / TV 5-6 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Low Battery Indicator The LED on the receiver is a multi-function indicator which includes low battery detection. When the receiver is first turned on, the indicator will illuminate continuously indicating that the unit is “ON” and NO signal is being received. When the receiver is receiving a signal on the tuned channel, the LED will show a steady slow flash indicating reception.
