Battery Installation
The battery compartments for the 6 “C” batteries and 2 “AA” batteries are located
on the back panel. To open the battery compartment covers press the door locking
tabs in the direction of the arrows. Remove the doors and insert the 6 “C” and 2
“AA” batteries in their respective compartments. Be sure the batteries are installed
correctly according to the polarity markings in the battery compartments. If the
batteries are installed incorrectly the unit will not work.
After installing the batteries replace both battery compartment covers and make
sure that they lock securely.
Battery Replacement
When the sound output becomes weak and distorted during battery operation it is
probably time to change the 6 “C” batteries. Try operating the system with the AC
adapter. If the sound is normal with the AC adapter this confirms that the batteries
are weak and should be replaced as soon as possible. If exhausted batteries are
left in the unit they may eventually leak and cause damage to the unit. When
changing the 6 “C” batteries always change all 6 at the same time and do not mix
different types of batteries such as alkaline, carbon-zinc, and nickel cadmium.
The 2 “AA” batteries are only used for maintaining the clock and timer memory
and therefore they will probably last longer than the 6 “C” batteries. Two fresh
alkaline “AA” batteries should provide back up power for the clock and timer for a
period of 12 months.
