Knowing When to Replace the Batteries
When the batteries become weak, the sound becomes
weak and distorted.
When the batteries are completely exhausted, the
power is turned o.
Handling the Batteries
• Improper or incorrect use of batteries may
cause corrosion or battery leakage, which
could cause personal injury or damage to
property.
• Install the batteries correctly by following the
polarity (+ and –) indications in the battery
compartment.
• Use only the types of batteries which are
indicated in this manual.
• Do not install new batteries with used ones
and do not mix dierent types of batteries.

• Due to the short battery life span of some
alkaline batteries, it is recommended to
use rechargeable batteries. You will need to
purchase a charger to charge the rechargeable
batteries. This saves cost and is more
environmental-friendly.
