I have to have at least 8 volts before it will start up. I'm confused to read that I should be running it on 6 volts. Could that be the original Maximite instead of the DonTronics SM1 version? I looked all over the DonTronics web site and the schamatic for the voltage information, and there does not seem to be a voltage listed. Isn't the SM1 designed to run on 9 to 12 volts?
