1. Press in the tabs of the battery compartment

cover on the bottom panel of the GAIA SH-01, and

remove the cover.

NOTE

• Take care that foreign objects ( ammable items, coins,

pins, etc.) or liquids (water, juice, etc.) do not enter the unit

while the battery compartment cover is removed.

928

• When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of

newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four

corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons

and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no

buttons or controls get damaged.

929

• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to

avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.

2. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment,

taking care to observe the correct polarity (+/-

AC adaptor from the unit.

• If batteries are installed, the power will turn o if you dis-

connect the power cord from the AC outlet or disconnect

the AC adaptor’s DC plug from the unit while it is powered

up. You must turn o the power before connecting or

disconnecting the power cord or AC adaptor.
