Note the following when using batteries

• Do not use alkaline batteries or zinc-carbon batteries.
• The Lucina AX-09 will not operate on batteries if the AC adaptor is connected.
• If batteries are installed, disconnecting or reconnecting the power cord at the AC outlet or disconnecting the DC plug from the Lucina AX-09’s rear panel while the
power is on will cause the power to turn o . You must turn o the power before you connect or disconnect the power cord or AC adaptor.
• Do not allow any objects (e.g.,  ammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.
• If used improperly, batteries may explode or leak and cause damage or injury. In the interest of safety, please read and observe the following precautions.
• Carefully follow the installation instructions for batteries, and make sure you observe the correct polarity.
• Avoid using new batteries together with used ones. In addition, avoid mixing di erent types of batteries.
• Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time.
• If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of cloth or paper towel to wipe all remnants of the discharge from the battery compartment. Then install new batteries.
To avoid in ammation of the skin, make sure that none of the battery discharge gets onto your hands or skin. Exercise the utmost caution so that none of the
discharge gets near your eyes. Immediately rinse the a ected area with running water if any of the discharge has entered the eyes.
• Never keep batteries together with metallic objects such as ballpoint pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.
