2 – Getting started
2.1 – Installing Batteries
Your REDi requires two AA batteries to operate. You can use either alkaline or
re-chargeable (for example, NiCd or NiMH) batteries, however please remember
that you must never attempt to charge alkaline batteries.
The two AA batteries delivered with your REDi are rechargeable. They have
been installed for your convenience.
To install new batteries first remove the battery panel located at the top of back
of your REDi device (see figure 2.0). The REDi battery panel is fastened with
three small Philips head screws and you will require a Philips screwdriver to
remove these.
Insert the two batteries with the correct polarity (as marked inside the
compartment).
Before replacing the lid, ensure that the batteries are fully inserted. If the
batteries are not inserted correctly, the lid will not fit properly, and could
consequently damage the seal or the batteries.
Carefully place the cover of the battery compartment back on, and gently tighten
the three screws.

If you switch to alkaline batteries, please remember to change the corresponding
option in the System Options to “Rechargeable N”. See chapter 6.3 for more.
Important – To ensure that the REDi device functions to an optimum level for the
duration required, it is vital that the REDi device is recharged regularly, preferably
at the end of each assignment.
