Changing the Battery

A standard 9-Volt alkaline battery will require replacement only once or twice per year under normal use. To replace, loosen the four captive screws and remove the cover. Disconnect the old battery and replace with a new one in the same location. Replace the cover and tighten the four screws. Use only high quality alkaline batteries or their equivalent.
