3.If you are installing alkaline batteries, use a pointed object such as a pencil to set ALKALINE JACK NI-CDinside the compartment to ALKALINE. Or, if you are installing nickel-cadmium batteries, set it to NI-CD.

Warning: Never set ALKALINE JACK NI-CD to NI-CD if you are installing non-rechargeable bat- teries. Non-rechargeable batteries can get hot or explode if you try to recharge them.

4.Install two batteries in the compartment and two in the cover as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside those locations.

Cautions:

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that destroy electronic cir- cuits.

Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of dif- ferent capacities.

5.Replace the cover.
