NOTE
In addition to the AC adapter, the MOTION LOOP can be powered by a 006P (9 V) alkaline battery.
Battery life for continuous use is about 2 hours (this depends on the type and usage condition of the battery). Please note that a manganese dry cell cannot be used due to
its short life. When the battery voltage becomes too low, the display shows “LOW BATTERY”. Exchange the battery or use the AC adapter.
When replacing batteries, remove the bottom plate after loosening the four screws on it and replace the battery with a new one.
