Caution! When Inserting the Battery

In some cases, batteries other than the supplied battery may be slightly short in length resulting in poor conductivity (loss of power). In this case, refer to the illus- tration on the left and use a spacer, such as some thick paper or a piece of card- board, between the end of the battery and the battery case to hold the battery in place.

When the battery is low, the lamp will dim and the sound may become distorted or noisy.

When these symptoms occur, please take note of the following precautions and replace the battery.

•Always follow the +/– signs when inserting the battery. Improper insertion may result in fire.

•To prevent possible damage to the unit due to battery leakage and unnecessary power drain, remove the battery from the unit when it is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
