the unit, with the “+” sign facing up. The battery will rest in the center of the com-
partment.
• Once the battery is in place, align the arrow on the battery door with the ‘un-

to ‘lock’ the battery door by turning it clockwise until the arrow on the door lines
up with the ‘lock’ icon.

the battery.
