5. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The LCD will display a fl ashing “Low Battery” warning when the batteries fall below a predetermined voltage level,
alerting you to replace the batteries soon. Several hours of battery life remain; however, in cold temperatures, this
time may be shorter.
Replace the batteries as follows:
1:
Turn the power off.
2:
Unscrew the thumb screw on the battery cover (2-5 turns) and lift the cover off until the tab at the rear of the
cover clears the slot it is located in.
3:
Remove the batteries by raising the batteries at the contact point of each pair. Dispose of used batteries properly.
4:
Insert new batteries, observing the polarity labels located inside the battery well.
NOTE: Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all batteries at the same time with new batteries. Also, do
not replace the batteries under wet or rainy conditions, allowing water to enter the battery compartment.
5:
Reinstall the cover in the reverse manner, being careful not to overtighten the thumb screw.
In the event the “Low Battery” indicator is not displayed, no visual indications appear on the LCD window and no
sound is heard after pressing the power ON switch, the batteries may be dead; check the battery compartment
immediately. Dead batteries should be removed immediately as they are prone to leakage and can cause perma-
nent damage.
Always remove batteries before storing your locator.
