Title: My battery box... help!
Post by: P-Man on July 08, 2007, 10:06:44 PM: I just recieved my iRiver H120, Church Audio mics & battery box. When I plug the mics into line-in they work, but if I put battery box between, no worky... help!

One quick way to check a 9v is to place the two terminals on your tongue, briefly. You will feel a tingling, if the battery is OK.

Make sure that the INPUT is going to your mics and the output is going to your recorder.. If that is correct I suspect your cable going to the battery box.

Does the iRiver H120 need to be RockBox-ed to check the battery box?

If by chance, I can't use the battery box right now, I'm going to a concert on Fri, will it be ok without?

Try a different, known-good battery.
