Installing the batteries
Install batteries by loosening the screw in the
battery access cover located on the back of the
instrument. Insert four size AA batteries in the
battery tube according to the polarity indicated on
the instrument case under the battery access cover.
Replace the battery access cover and tighten the
screw.
If the batteries are installed incorrectly, no damage
to the VELOCICHECK will occur, but the instrument
will not function.
