Preparation
SELECT A POWER SOURCE
Be sure to insert AA batteries in keeping with the (+) and
(-) signs.
To ensure that the device operates at maximum performance and
to avoid battery leakage, we recommend using new batteries. Use
ONLY lithium or alkaline batteries, NOT a combination of the two.
Rechargeable AA batteries are not recommended because they
produce lower voltage and may function poorly as a result.
