the Console. If you do not do this, the console
displays or other electronic components may
become damaged. Press the two tabs on the battery
cover, and remove the battery cover. Next, insert four
batteries into the Console. Make sure that the bat-
teries are oriented as shown by the diagrams
inside of the battery compartments. Then, reattach
the battery cover to the Console.
The Console (5) can also be operated with an option-
al power supply (not included). To purchase a power
supply, call the telephone number on the front
cover of this manual. To avoid damaging the con-
sole, use only a manufacturer-supplied power
supply. Plug one end of the power supply into the
jack on the console; plug the other end into an outlet
