Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the detec- tor for a week or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can de- stroy electronic parts.

Notes:

For better life, exchange the two batter- ies periodically.

You can extend battery life by using headphones, which require less power than the built-in speaker. See “Using Headphones.”

If the LOW BATT indicator lights during nor- mal use or the detector does not function properly, replace the batteries. If it still does not function properly, you might need to re- set the detector.

USING HEADPHONES

You can connect a pair of stereo head- phones (not supplied) to the detector so you can listen to it privately. Using headphones also saves battery power and makes it easier to identify subtle changes in the sounds you hear, for better detection results. Your local RadioShack store has a wide selection of headphones.

To connect head- phones to the de- tector, insert the

headphones’

1/8-

 

inch plug into

the

PHONE

PHONE jack on the

Jack

side of the control

 

housing.

 

 

The detector’s

in-

 

ternal speaker disconnects when you con- nect headphones.
