Getting Ready

Note when using the R-05 on batteries

Do not mix fresh batteries with used batteries, and do not mix batteries of different types.

If you won’t be using the R-05 for an extended period of time, we recommend that you remove the batteries to prevent them from leaking electrolyte.

If electrolyte should leak from the batteries, use a soft cloth to wipe the battery compartment clean, and then install new batteries. Electrolyte that contacts your skin might cause irritation. Electrolyte that enters your eyes is dangerous; if this occurs, immediately flush your eyes thoroughly with water.

Do not carry or store batteries together with metallic objects such as pens, necklaces, or hairpins.

power will turn off, depending on the power conservation setting.
