2.Connect a fresh 9-volt alkaline battery (not included). The large and small contacts on the battery clip and the battery will interlock. Once connected, place the battery inside the battery compartment.

3.Replace the battery compartment door and tighten the screw.

NOTE: If the battery is low or not installed, the unit announces “Low Battery” at the end of message playback.
