IMPORTANT: If the Console has been
exposed to cold temperatures, allow it to

adapter. Remove the battery cover, remove the
batteries, and plug one end of the AC adapter
into the jack inside the battery compartment on
the console; plug the other end into an outlet
installed in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Route the wire on the AC adapter
