Operation:
1.
Etch A Sketch requires 6 C batteries (Not included). Use alkaline batteries
only (e.g. Duracell or Energizer brand). Do not use rechargeable batteries or
any other type of batteries because they supply lower voltage and the unit
will not perform properly. Never mix old and new batteries together or
different brands or types together.
2.
The battery compartment is located under the bottom of the Control Consol.
To remove the battery compartment cover, carefully turn the unit over, and
then pull the cover off. Next undo the Velcro battery retaining strap. Install
new batteries, being careful to observe proper battery polarity. Set the ON
OFF switch to ON, redo strap and replace cover.
