Battery safety notice
The use of the wrong type of batteries may cause chemical leaks and/or
explosion. Please note the following:
• Always ensure that the batteries are inserted with the positive and negative
terminals in the correct direction as shown in the battery compartment.
• Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix
different types.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries will shorten
battery life and/or cause chemical leaks from the old batteries.
• When batteries fail to function, replace them immediately.
• Chemicals which leak from batteries may cause skin irritation. If any
chemical matter seeps out of the batteries, wipe it up immediately using a dry
cloth.

with your display may be shortened. Replace them within 3 months or as
soon as you can after initial use.

and open the lid of the battery compartment.
2. Insert the batteries (supplied) ensuring that
the positive and negative marked battery
terminals match the (+) and (-) marks in the
