Exchange the batteries as follows, Fig. 3-4
1. Place the device on a suitable surface with
the rear panel facing upwards.
2. Pull down the slider in the lid of the battery
compartment (A) and remove the lid.
The battery compartment should now be
open.
In series A devices, the battery compartment
lid is fastened with a Phillips screw. Use a
Phillips screwdriver to open the lid.
3. Remove the discharged batteries (B) and
replace them with fresh ones. See the bottom
of the battery compartment for the proper
polarity.
4. Replace the battery compartment lid, press it
into place and slide the slider upwards.
The device is now operational again.
Operation with NiCd cells
Instead of batteries, you can use two
rechargeable 1.2 V NiCd cells (AA size). Fresh
NiCd cells provide an operating life of approx. 15
hours. We offer a suitable charger for recharging
these cells (order number BN 2029/90.03). For
information on using this charger, see the
separate charger manual.
Notice: Due to natural discharging effects and
leakage currents in the device, the
NiCd cells will loose all of their charge
in about one month even if you never
switch on the OLS-5.
