Preparation for Use

Installing the Batteries

Open the Battery Compartment cover by pressing down on the locking tab. Insert 2 “AA” batteries (not included) in the battery compartment. Be sure to insert the batteries according to the polarity markings ( “+” / “−“) inside the battery compartment. If the batteries are inserted incorrectly the unit will not work. We recommend you use a well-known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance.
